In this final volume of the 1877 work that established him as
England's leading authority on pornography, Henry Spencer Ashbee
describes scores of "curious, uncommon and erotic books" that were
banned or otherwise prohibited from legitimate sale during the
Victorian era. Included in this volume are such "gentlemen only"
titles as Intrigues and Confessions of a Ballet Girl, The Pleasures
of Kissing and Being Kissed, and the infamous Memoirs of a Woman of
Pleasure. This catalog of mostly forgotten works is an
invaluable-and highly entertaining-resource for bibliophiles,
students of erotica, and collectors of Victoriana. British book
collector, travel writer, and bibliographer HENRY SPENCER ASHBEE
(1834-1900), aka Pisanus Fraxi, is thought by some to have authored
the notorious Victorian sexual memoir My Secret Life.
