Abstract
It undoubtedly says something about our culture that if one were to mention the name of Richard Lovelace, few people, even in educated circles, will immediately identify the reference and recall the nature of his accomplishments. On the other hand, mention of the name Linda Lovelace will probably produce associations in the minds of the majority, and quite a few will be able to describe her oscular achievements in embarrassing detail. We live in a time when pornography has “come out of the closet” (or dresser drawer). As the topsy-turvy of our time would have it, Ms. Lovelace has become a heroine in circles that would otherwise eschew association with her career.
