We’re pleased to announce the publication of VICTORIAN VICE, a new anthology featuring excerpts from the Classics of Passion series. It includes selections from some of the Victorian era’s most notorious works, such as the infamous underground journal The Pearl; Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s startling novel Venus in Furs; “The New Pleasure” by Pierre Louÿs; as well as anonymous texts that became scandalous sensations.
Victorian scholar Lawrence Hamilton has compiled this connoisseur’s sampler of literature’s “forbidden pleasures” — over two hundred pages of naughty nostalgia.
