Satan's Harvest Home
''Satan's Harvest Home'' is a pamphlet published anonymously in 1749 in London, Great Britain. It describes and denounces what it deems the moral laxity and perversion of contemporary society, especially with reference to effeminacy, sodomy, and prostitution. The pamphlet incorporates some older material; this attempts to diagnose the cause of a perceived increase in the prevalence of sodomy among gentlemen, and specifies a continental European origin for male effeminacy and female same-sex relations. The pamphlet also features a poem, "Petit Maître", denouncing male habits of feminine dress.
Contemporary scholars have found in the pamphlet evidence of several Early Modern British trends: the equation of effeminacy with homosexuality; the use of Sappho as a symbol for lesbianism at a time when public awareness of lesbian relationships was increasing; and an equation of Roman Catholic Italy and France with moral degeneracy.
==Outline==
The pamphlet's full title is ''Satan's Harvest Home: or the Present State of Whorecraft, Adultery, Fornication, Procuring, Pimping, Sodomy, And the Game of Flatts, (Illustrated by an Authentick and Entertaining Story) And other Satanic Works, daily propagated in this good Protestant Kingdom.'' It was printed "for the editor" – i.e. at the expense of the person who compiled it – and it was available for sale at locations across London, from several sellers in York, and in Bath.
Some of the material in the pamphlet appears to be either a straight reprint or plagiarism of older material, including from a 1734 text, ''Pretty Doings in a Protestant Nation'', by the pseudonymous Father Poussin. Part of the same section also seems to have appeared in William Walsh's 1691 ''A Dialogue Concerning Women''. Another reused source is a c.1731 (1720 in some sources) pamphlet, ''Plain Reasons for the Growth of Sodomy in England''.
