My Secret Life: An Erotic Diary of Victorian London [Amazon.com] [FR] [DE] [UK]
A memoir by an adventurous Victorian Londoner chronicles his precocious childhood sexuality through the end of his ""amatory career,"" during which he engaged in hundreds of romantic interludes with lovers from all walks of life. Reprint. --Ingram
At an early age, the author of this scintillating memoir began keeping a diary of his sexual adventures. Representing more than 40 years, his erotic diary uncovers the secret side of Victorian England--the sensual experiments that made 19th-century Britain far more indulgent than history claims. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. --Book Description
My Secret Life was first published in 1888, but was repeatedly banned; a New York publisher was arrested in 1932 for issuing three volumes. It was finally issued successfully by Grove Press in New York in 1966. If Ashbee is the author, it means that My Secret Life is probably a composite of the fantasies and actual accounts of Ashbee and his colleagues, rather than the memoirs of one person. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Spencer_Ashbee [Sept 2005]
