The Amorous Exploits of a Young Rakehell by Guillaume Apollinaire 13628710Īdventures of Lady Harbur (Wordsworth Classic Erotica) by Anonymous Nobody thought of Fanny Hill or Autobiography of a Flea as literature when it was first published.Īnonymous Mon Aug 12 16:51:41 2019 No. Read the old issues of The Pearl: that stuff is unrepentant smut, with a few jokes thrown in. Remember that "erotica" is a made-up concept and everything more than a century old that we call erotica is just the pornography of the day (with a few weird philosophical and experimental exceptions like de Sade or Rabelais). Looking for things that are further from artistic merit.Īnonymous Mon Aug 12 16:49:26 2019 No. I do fancy poetry and Apollinaire, but both are too literary for what I seek.
If you fancy poetry, then perhaps John wilmotĪnonymous Mon Aug 12 15:54:30 2019 No. Is it as filthy as it reputation make it seem?Īnonymous Mon Aug 12 15:49:50 2019 No. It's been on my "to buy list" for a few years now, but I confess I haven't read it (yet).

I'm well aware of Nin, she's an excellent writer. 13627973Īnais Nin has a short story collection called Delta of Venus that's a pretty good starting point.Īnonymous Mon Aug 12 14:09:42 2019 No. I'm curious about smut preinternet daysĪnonymous Mon Aug 12 14:08:16 2019 No. Interested in conventionally published stuff. I'm not sure where to start investigating, so any help is more than welcome. The more obscure and forgotten, the better. Not erotic pieces, but downright smut or, at least, explicit material.
