    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Challenge everything you learned about medieval history and discover the surprising truth about an era deliberately misrepresented for political and religious purposes. This revisionist audiobook reveals that the Dark Ages were neither dark nor backward but a period of significant innovation, cultural exchange, and intellectual development obscured by Renaissance propaganda. Learn why the term itself was invented to make later periods seem superior by contrast and how this distortion persists in education despite scholarly rejection. The narrator presents evidence of medieval advances in agriculture, architecture, philosophy, and technology that contradict popular images of superstitious ignorance and cultural stagnation. Discover the sophisticated Islamic civilization preserving and extending classical knowledge while Europe supposedly slumbered in darkness. Understand how medieval institutions including universities, parliaments, and banking systems established foundations for modernity that Renaissance self-promotion deliberately obscured. This audiobook examines why accurate medieval history threatens modern narratives about progress, religion, and Western superiority that depend on Dark Age mythology. Learn what ordinary medieval people actually believed, how they lived, and why their world was far more complex than cartoonish depictions suggest. Essential listening for history enthusiasts tired of oversimplification and anyone questioning whether accepted historical narratives serve truth or ideology.

    The history of selling sex is a hidden one—and too often its practitioners are pushed to the margins of history. This book redresses the balance, revealing the history of the sex trade through the eyes of sex workers, from medieval streets to Wild West saloons, and from brothels to state bedrooms. 
 
 
 
Harlots, Whores & Hackabouts' chapters are structured thematically in a broadly chronological order, each one introducing a lively cast of complex and entertaining characters operating in an array of different periods, locations, and settings. In ancient Mesopotamia, the harlot Shamhat was powerful and respected, able to civilize the wild man Enkidu through her charms. In medieval London, Elizabeth Moryng serviced religious clergy under the guise of an embroidery business, though she was eventually jailed for being a prolific panderer and bawd. In the hedonistic floating world of Edo, Japan, Kabuki actresses and geishas entertained and pleasured their patrons. Lister's engaging and illuminating tales invite listeners to look, listen, and reconsider everything they thought they knew about the world's oldest profession. Together, these captivating tales of sex workers from around the world and throughout history provide a powerful context to contemporary debates about sexuality and the empowerment of women. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
