Erotica III An Illustrated Anthology of Sexual Art and Literature

"The third illustrated anthology of erotica takes the reader on a journey through four centuries of erotic literature and art. Part one, 'The libertine imagination', fuels libidinous fantasies. Part two, 'Dreams of empire', concentrates on the underground erotica of the Victorians. Part three, 'Decadent visions', moves on to the Edwardian era, spirited pieces with a theatrical background. Part four, 'After the nightmare', features a wide variety of literary styles including the different approaches to erotic writing of a male and a female writer. Part five, 'Fantasy or reality?', brings us up to date and includes same sex writing." "Once more this is an appealing array of literary and artistic erotica, with the emphasis on the dreams and fantasies that all of us indulge in - or would like to."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
