Maude is on holiday at Lake Garda in Italy. Experiencing a long string of sexual adventures, she describes them in detailed letters to Augustus, who is back home in London. As Maude travels the world, her stories turn more and more bizarre. This is an erotic novel about sex and flagellation. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian and Edwardian England had its own adult entertainment industry – countless erotic novels were put out by shady publishers, some books were printed by the authors themselves, and most of the writers were anonymous. Many of these 19th century books are surprisingly kinky, and some of them may be quite offensive to modern day readers – in more ways than one. The anonymously written ”Augustus and Maude” first published in 1900, is a great example of sadomasochistic Victorian erotica. The author is still unknown.
