Despite rigid moral codes, some nineteenthcentury writers flaunted convention by producing erotica published by underground houses and distributed widely, much to the chagrin of religious and political leaders of the Victorian Age. And while today it seems that writing about sexuality is completely uninhibited, it pales in comparison to the steamy and graphic yet romantically inviting and colorful works authored many years ago.Erotic Tales of the Victorian Age includes selections from the spicy Eveline by Anonymous, the story of a resourceful young woman who enjoys teasing various men by letting her hands wander; My Secret Life by Walter, which explores the authors carnal travellog; the lusty Rosa Fielding by Anonymous; Therese Raquin by Emile Zola; My Life and Loves by Frank Harris; the infamous Venus in India by Charles Devereaux, describing the authors sexual exploits as a member of the British Army; The Perfumed Garden by Sir Richard Burton, which reads like a Victorian Joy of Sex; tantalizing extracts from Dracula by Bram Stoker, and more.
