description: One of the most famous erotic novels of the century! First issued between 1873 and 1876, this titillating collaborative work of sexual awakening in Victorian England was repeatedly been banned for its immorality and much sought after for its vivid portrayals of sodomy, sexual initiation, and flagellation. The novel that inspired Steven Marcus to coin the term pornotopic, Romance of Lust not only offers the reader a linguistic tour de force, but also delivers a long look at the many possibilities of heterosexual love.
