In its variety of people and practices, of settings and sexual behaviour, this volume of selected pieces provides the connoisseur with the flavour of a dozen forbidden works. This uncensored anthology features excerpts from infamous works such as The Amatory Adventures of a Surgeon, the lascivious adventures of an unscrupulous doctor; The English Governess, a story of obsessive love between a governess and a young man in her charge; and My Secret Life, the most notorious of Victorian confessions.
