Historian Hallie Rubenhold reveals the story behind the 18th century's most infamous book - Harris's Lists, a catalogue describing the talents and attributes of London's prostitutes.

Created by a pimp, a prostitute and a poet, the Lists became an instant bestseller - even though they contained lurid and often disturbing descriptions of the lives of the common courtesans. Rubenhold uses the details found within the Lists to produce a vivid depiction of the steamy underside of Georgian life.
