Synopsis
1601 Conversation, as it was by the Social Fireside, in the Time of the
Tudors is a short risqué squib by Mark Twain, first published anonymously in
1880, and finally acknowledged by the author in 1906. Written as an extract
from the diary of one of Queen Elizabeth I's ladies-in-waiting, the pamphlet
purports to record a conversation between Elizabeth and several famous writers
of the day. The topics discussed are entirely scatological, notably flatulence
and sex. Prior to the court decisions in
the United States in 1959-1966 that legalized the publication of Lady
Chatterley's Lover, Tropic of Cancer, and Fanny Hill, the piece continued to be
considered unprintable, and was circulated clandestinely in privately printed
limited editions.
