The Secret Museum: Pornography in Modern Culture (1987) is a book by Walter Kendrick on the concept of pornography. The book correctly states that the word was not coined until the late 18th century, which became a public issue once the printing press gave ordinary people access to the erotica of the Greeks and Romans, the art and literature of the French enlightenment, and the poems of the Earl of Rochester and John Cleland's Fanny Hill.
From the secret museums to the obscenity trials of Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterley's Lover, to Mapplethorpe, cable TV, and the Internet, Kendrick explores how conceptions of pornography relate to issues of freedom of expression and censorship.

In TSM, the allegory of the young person is exemplified Georgiana Podsnap, a character in Charles Dickens's Our Mutual Friend.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Podsnap; portrayed as very sheltered, shy, trusting, and naïve and, as such, is taken advantage of by the more manipulative upper-class characters such as Fledgeby and the Lammles who scheme to “befriend” her in order to take her money; courted by Fledgeby through Alfred Lammle, though not with honourable intentions, and nearly finds herself trapped in a marriage with Fledgeby until Sophronia Lammle suffers a change of heart.
