The final volume of Ashbee's 1877 work delves into a collection of "curious, uncommon and erotic books" that faced bans and restrictions during the Victorian era. As England's foremost authority on pornography, Ashbee explores the cultural and social implications of these prohibited texts, offering insights into the era's attitudes toward sexuality and censorship. This comprehensive examination reveals the hidden literary landscape of a time marked by strict moral codes and the complexities of erotic literature.
