‘The Romance of Lust’ is an erotic novel that was first published anonymously in four volumes during the years 1873 to 1876 by William Lazenby. Considered one of the seminal works of Victorian erotic literature, the novel narrates the story of Charlie Roberts, a young man with an insatiable sexual appetite and the various encounters he has with both sexes.
Characterized by its explicit descriptions of sexual escapades, the book delves into themes that were considered taboo in Victorian society, such as incest, bisexuality, and group sex. ‘The Romance of Lust’ takes the reader through a series of libertine experiences, reflecting the hidden underbelly of upper-class Victorian life.
The narrative is presented as a memoir, with a tone that combines enthusiasm for various sexual activities with a certain amount of reflection on the part of the protagonist. Despite its controversial content, the book is known for its witty dialogue, well-developed characters, and a candid exploration of the complexities of human sexuality. It stands as a historic example of the genre, marking a departure from the prudish mores of the time and providing a window into the more permissive aspects of 19th-century sexuality.
