[<<] 1823 [>>]
Frederick Hankey
1823 – Frederick Hankey, son of Sir Frederick Hankey {1800-1855) is born in Corfu, Greece. Retiring from the military as a Captain in the Guards in 1840, Hankey moves to Paris where he indulges in his passion of erotic literature, to the point of being obsessed, with increasingly sadistic desires and fantasies. Ashbee once compared him to Marquis de Sade "without the intellect" (a scary thought). Hankey also supplies sado-masochistic erotica to Swinburne, Richard Burton and Richard Monckton Milnes. --http://www.eroticabibliophile.com/people19.html [Sept 2004]
