The Romance of Lust: or Early Experiences (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535417457)

The Romance of Lust is one of the most famous erotic novels of the Nineteenth Century. First issued between 1873 and 1876, this titillating collaborative work of sexual awakening in Victorian England was repeatedly banned for its immorality and much sought after in secret for its vivid portrayals of sodomy, sexual initiation, and flagellation. The novel that inspired Steven Marcus to coin the term pornotopic, Romance of Lust not only offers the reader a linguistic tour de force, but also delivers a long look at the many possibilities of sensual and sexual love. This novel may well represent the highest moment in Nineteenth-Century sexual imagination. An unabashed portrait of a classic erotic drama, it is still today considered to contain an unparalleled and wholly satisfying reading experience.
