Rogues Gallery Uncovered

ErotoManiac - Henry Spencer Ashbee 1901


Listen Later

 In an extra rude episode, meet 19th-century England's most prolific and energetic smut collector.
Henry Spencer Ashbee.
Listener discretion is advised - Those Victorians could be spicy!

  •  Just how much X-rated material could one gentleman collect?
  • Who were his famous friends?
  • Did he go blind?
  • Was he the mysterious author of erotic classic "My Secret Life"?
  • Was Victorian morality really so 'moral'?

It's a furtive delve beneath the crinolines of Victorian society featuring erotic literature, erotic art, general erotica and lots of very rare books. 

For open minded bibliophiles everywhere
