He was too surprised to draw back and when he tried, she had already placed her unexpectedly strong arms around his neck and he lacked the strength to pry them away. In fact, he felt strangely helpless, like it was someone else who acted instead of him, as he kissed her back. His hands involuntarily reached her waist and pulled her closer.” - From the short story “View of a cemetery” “This, this is not really happening, is it?” Agnes whispered, breathless as Catherine started to undo her corset. “No, of course it is not,” Catherine agreed, suppressing a small moan of delight as she pulled down the upper part of the linen undergarment and very attentively and experimentally kissed Agnes’ soft round breasts. - From the short story “Wildflowers” “No, no, none of that…” he said teasingly, but reluctantly, as he moved her hands away. “Not yet,” he added and smiled roguish at her disappointed sigh. I stayed petrified in front of the window as the scene continued before me. I felt feverish and out of breath myself, wishing with all my heart that someone would make love to me like that, but also keenly aware of that I was watching something entirely private and that it was both wicked and wrong of me to stay and look. - From the short story “Booklover” Product details: #9 on the Top 10 list of Victorian Erotica Romance (Amazon US) #86 on the Top 100 list of Erotica Fiction (Amazon UK) Category: Victorian Romance and Erotica Format: Kindle eBook Written and published: 2011 Length: ~ 20800 words (each story is short and sweet ~2500 words) Proofread by Nicolas Ambrose Publisher: My Secret Quill About the author: Lady T.

An unparalleled and a wholly satisfying reading experience, "The Romance of Lust" is a classic Victorian erotic novel not to be missed by fans and collectors of the genre.

Albion's Seed
Author: David Hackett Fischer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019974369X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 981
Book Description
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

The Loves of Lord Roxboro
Author: Walter Bone
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781074340780
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
When lovely young orphans Caroline and Freda arrive to the mansion belonging to their new ward, the wonderfully depraved Lord Roxboro, they don't know what to expect. They enter a world of orgiastic pleasures, where the maids and stablemen join the sexual activities. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian and Edwardian England had its own adult entertainment industry - countless erotic novels were put out by shady publishers, some books were printed by the authors themselves, and most of the writers were anonymous. Many of these 19th century books are surprisingly kinky, and some of them may be quite offensive to modern day readers - in more ways than one. Sir Walter Bone is a pseudonym, the author of this massive epos, first published in 1898, is unknown. This tome contains all six volumes of "The Loves of Lord Roxboro." This is raunchy, decadent Victorian erotica at its best.

Luxury Arts of the Renaissance
Author: Marina Belozerskaya
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892367857
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.
