The Wordsworth Erotica Collection includes some of the finest Victorian and Edwardian examples of the genre. About this book: Edwardian in tone and Rabelaisian in content, this underground English classic first published in 1907 relates the bawdy adventures of a young gentleman, Cecil Prendergast. While a student at Oxford, Cecil succumbs to the erotic allure of the domineering Mrs Harcourt. Under her careful tutelage, he avidly learns the sublime arts of both submission and triumph with the lovely Muriel, Juliette, Gladys, and other adventurous young ladies she brings his way.
