The Sins of the Cities of the Plain (1881) is an erotic novel
attributed to Irish prostitute Jack Saul. Published by William
Lazenby, a prominent printer of Victorian erotica, The Sins of the
Cities of the Plain is considered to be one of the first works of
literature dedicated to homosexuality in the English language.
"'Saul, Jack Saul, sir, of Lisle Street, Leicester Square, and
ready for a lark with a free gentleman at any time. What was it
made you take a fancy to me? Did you observe any particularly
interesting points about your humble servant?' as he slyly looked
down towards the prominent part I have previously mentioned."
Having met by chance at Leicester Square, Jack Saul, a successful
prostitute-colloquially known as a "Mary-Ann" or "rentboy"-agrees
to accompany Mr. Cambon to his home at the Cornwall Mansions. After
sharing a meal, the two men get down to business, exploring their
young bodies and devoting themselves to pleasure. Curious about
Jack's past, Cambon offers him money to share the story of his
life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Jack Saul's The Sins of the Cities of
the Plain is a classic work of Victorian erotic fiction reimagined
for modern readers.
