Ihara Saikaku
Glassco's long poem "Squire Hardman", on the subject of flagellation, was privately printed in 1967. The poem was inspired by "The Rodiad" (1871), falsely ascribed to George Colman the Younger, and Glassco continued the hoax by claiming that his own poem was a republication of an 18th-century original by Colman. Glassco's "The Temple of Pederasty", on the theme of sado-masochism and male homosexuality, was similarly ascribed to Ihara Saikaku with "translation" by the wholly fictitious "Hideki Okada". Glassco also used the pseudonym "Sylvia Bayer" to publish "Fetish Girl", on the theme of rubber fetishism. He wrote "The English Governess" (Ophelia Press, 1960) and "Harriet Marwood, Governess" (1967) under yet another pseudonym, "Miles Underwood". Glassco completed the unfinished pornographic novel "Under the Hill" by Aubrey Beardsley, in an edition published by the Olympia Press in 1959.
