The Victorian era offers an untapped wellspring of lesbian erotica. Indeed, Victorian erotica writers treated lesbians and bisexual women with voracious curiosity and tender affection. As far as written treasuries of vice and perversion go, the Victorian era has no equal. These stories delve into the world of the aristocrat and the streetwalker, the seasoned seductress and the innocent naif. Lesbian erotica of the Victorian era defies stereotypes and offers rich portraits of a sexuality driven underground by repressive sexual mores.
To be a masterpiece, a work has to distinguish itself in many ways. It can offer a deeper insight, a more vivid image or a more surprising turn. Or it can be unique, truly peerless in its style. Having distinguished themselves in these ways, the works in this volume represent the very best of the Victorian imagination. There's poetry and prose, narrative and instructional guide; there's fetish, queer, s/m and vanilla; there's bawdy, tender and daring. These stories cannot fail to arouse, stimulate and amaze with their delightful sexiness and bold originality.
The history of erotic literature is long and distinguished. It holds valuable insights and lessons for the general reader, the sociologist and the student of sexual behaviour. Because of the inherent value to all students of the human condition of these classic erotic works, these books have not been altered in any way, shape or form. These stories are presented to the reader exactly as they first appeared in print and all the subtleties are exposed to the readers' view.
The Victorian era is often regarded as a very austere period, but Amorous Congress: A Collection of New Victorian Erotica demonstrates that this was not always the case at all. Award-winning editor F. Leonora Solomon has curated stories by outstanding contemporary erotica writers who reimagine the sensual sensibilities of the 19th century in decadent stories. Amorous Congress takes the reader to another time filled with poor houses and brothels, secret societies and manor houses—even some of Charles Dickens characters make an appearance. Languid, corseted and gloved, Amorous Congress is a titillating read that guarantees happy endings of all varieties. Starting with an entrepreneurial young woman whose sensuality leads her into an unexpected career, and ending with advances in technology that give the 21st century something to aspire to, Amorous Congress is our erotic reimagining of an era that continues to entice us.
"The Romance of Lust - A Classic Victorian Erotic Novel" is an 1873 erotic novel of anonymous authorship. It follows the exploits of Charlie, a virile and well-endowed young man with an apparently boundless appetite for sex. He chronicles his various sexual encounters involving his sisters Eliza and Mary, his governesses, and other various male and female friends. The narrative is saturated with taboo subjects, and it almost seems that none are omitted: orgies, masturbation, lesbianism, flagellation, fellatio, cunnilingus, gay sex, anal sex, and double penetration all appear at some point. An unparalleled and a wholly satisfying reading experience, "The Romance of Lust" is a classic Victorian erotic novel not to be missed by fans and collectors of the genre. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of erotic literature.
Victorian erotica is remarkable for offering some of the bawdiest, most creative and most arousing stories in the history of the English language. Even more remarkable is the variety and allure of the women who populate these stories. Sandwiched in literary history between the famous erotic heroines of Fanny Hill and Lady Chatterley, these women represent their own apotheosis of sexual liberation and experimentation. Outrageously sexy and unhampered by modern conservatism, they search high and low for sexual bliss and erotic experience.
Lesbian erotica of the 1920s through the 1940s had a bold new cast to it. Unlike the tender and affectionate eroticism of the Victorian era with its naughty schoolgirls, convent antics and ladies-in-waiting, these 20th Century tales brought verisimilitude and fantasy together. While Radclyffe Hall was being prosecuted for obscenity for her depiction of "sapphics" and "inverts" in the classic lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness, her friend Natalie Barney was riding naked through the streets of Paris on horseback with her lover, the poet Renee Vivienne and Anais Nin were penning lurid and lustful tales of very bad girls while yearning for Henry Miller's sensual wife, June.
This is the story of one woman's sexual reawakening, from losing her virginity to a loveless marriage and then regaining her confidence as a result of a chance meeting with a man 3000 miles away, met on the Internet.
When lovely young orphans Caroline and Freda arrive to the mansion belonging to their new ward, the wonderfully depraved Lord Roxboro, they don't know what to expect. They enter a world of orgiastic pleasures, where the maids and stablemen join the sexual activities. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian and Edwardian England had its own adult entertainment industry - countless erotic novels were put out by shady publishers, some books were printed by the authors themselves, and most of the writers were anonymous. Many of these 19th century books are surprisingly kinky, and some of them may be quite offensive to modern day readers - in more ways than one. Sir Walter Bone is a pseudonym, the author of this massive epos, first published in 1898, is unknown. This tome contains all six volumes of "The Loves of Lord Roxboro." This is raunchy, decadent Victorian erotica at its best.
