No one
soul can possibly read the thousands of erotic books, pamphlets and
broadsides
the English reading public were offered in the 19th century
– the Victorian
era. This
anthology hopes to stimulate the reader into exploring further
adventures in erotica
through the profound pleasure of reading about pleasure.
In this
comprehensive anthology, erotica stands for bawdy, obscene, salacious,
pornographic
and even ribald works, including humor and satire employing sexual
elements.
Flagellation,
sado-masochism and incest are recurring
themes, activities whose effects can be shocking,
but their occurrence pervades
our selections, most often in the context of love and affection.
