The Collector's Edition of Lost Erotic Novels

A Useful Collection of Works Not Really 'Lost' - By: Clifford, 10 Dec 2006
This is a collection of erotic literature which performs a useful service in putting into print a number of novels that are (generallly speaking) hard to find, although use of the word `Lost' in the title seems to be something of an overstatement. I own, or have traced, other editions of the four works included here: `Instruments of the Passion, by Anonymous; `Misfortunes of Mary', by Anonymous; `White Stains', by Anais Nin; & `Innocence', by Harriet Daimler. The first one has been published by Masquerade under the authorship of Alizarin Lake, & the second may be the same as that listed by Amazon as a work of 'Arnold Kem'. The other two are even better known. That said, it is a useful collection. `Instruments' is a lengthy novel, detailing the progress of a young woman into extreme submission, treating its subject with a rather broader erotic appeal than `L'Histoire d'O'. `Mary' seems to be a Victorian/Edwardian tale of the corruption of another female innocent, & these are the two works likely to be less familiar to devotees of this genre. A `useful' book, therefore, if you lack other editions of the four works, but here, as much as anywhere in the genre, you have to be aware that the definition of `anonymous' can sometimes be rather flexible.
