Join the self-pleasuring French literary giant as he explores the delights and diseases of the mysterious East. 
It's a grubby tale of 19th-century sex tourism, habitual masturbation, writer's block and VD.

  • Why couldn't Flaubert leave himself alone?
  • What happened when he visited a bathhouse?
  • Were the contents of his letters home explicit?
  • Did he write Madame Bovary?

All this and more will be answered in episode 16 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
