Welcome to the secret world of Walter, a diary of one man's
obsession with the opposite sex. A champagne-drinking Victorian
traveler, Walter is lascivious, obnoxious, and possessed of an
insatiable sexual appetite. Through a bawdy catalog of indecent
scenarios with maids, widows, and wenches, he solicits an indulgent
exploration of the flesh. His obsessions, fantasies, and
voyeuristic tendencies are explored and revealed within this
diary--one of the most famous examples of Victorian erotic
literature from the decadent era. Only six copies were initially
printed in 1888. Attempts to republish the book resulted in the
novel being repeatedly banned. This is a dark work of Victorian
erotica, and an explicit memoir of unspoken desires in the English
class system--encapsulating the joy of hidden sins in an age of
moral fervor.
