Victorian Erotic Tales (English, Hardcover, Shelly Klein)

The Victorian era, with its strict moral codes, forced erotic writing underground and, ironically, gave its writers more freedom to practice their art and break taboos. This collection of Victorian fantasies includes excerpts from the famous 11-volume memoir My Secret Life, extracts from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and pieces by Richard Burton, Frank Harris, Charles Devereaux, & Emile Zola, among others. Linked by power, vitality, and originality, the works in this collection make up a rare treasure trove of classic erotica that will intrigue and delight readers.
