Book Description

Winner of the The Believer Book Award (2012) Shortlisted for the Trillium Book Award (2013) On a mangy beach in Key West, sixteen-year-old Myra meets Elijah, a Tanzanian musician twice her age. Trapped on a Spring Break family vacation, Myra longs to lose her virginity to Elijah, and is shocked to learn he lives with Gayl, a secretive, violent woman with a strange power over him. When Myra and her splitting-up family return home, she falls in with a pot-smoking anarchist crowd. But when Gayl and Elijah follow her north, she walks willingly into their world, engaging in more and more abject sexual games. As Myra enters unfamiliar worlds of sex, porn, race and class, she explores territories unknown in herself. Maidenhead traverses the desperate, wild spaces of a teenage girl’s self-consciousness.

Book Description

The brothers of Beta Theta Pi are have just finished a banquet in honour of their graduating, cigars have been lit, and many drinks will be drunk. All is about to proceed to its inevitable state of mass inebriation when one of the brothers suddenly divulges to the group that one amongst them is in fact a virgin. When the President rises and insists that the identity of this puritan be revealed, an accusatory finger is cast on the slowly reddening face of Frank Eaton. At once, it is decided that he shall have his cherry well and truly plucked there and the eyes of the whole society. Cue Vic and Ida, the naughtiest girls in town. What follows is a ribald recital of the most lascivious kind, and Frank won't be the only one to savour the charms of the evening's entertainment. Between copious amounts of fornicating, frigging, and numerous spendings, each society member will reveal in sumptuously graphic detail how he lost his virginity. This little seen gem of Victorian era erotica is one of the precious few from the stable of Charles Carrington that is set in America. Anonymously written in 1897, 'Maidenhead Stories' bounds along at a stimulating pace, tale after tale regaled in with fond reminiscent and celebrated with a heart cheer. A must for any collector of the once-suppressed.

Book Description

VIRGINITY LOST... Nowhere is the atmosphere more appropriate for spicy tales than at a fraternity get-together. Wine, laughter and the language of the lusty-such is the setting for the Maidenhead Stories, in which each member must relate the uncensored account of the loss of his virginity. SENSUALITY FOUND... The discovery that one brother has not yet suffered the initial rites of Cupid only heightens the merriment. And it is decided that there is no better time for the disposal of his chastity... and for the further exploration of ribaldry and complete debauch. Maidenhead Stories is often funny, sometimes poignant, always entertaining-a bold, bawdy book.



Clandestine Erotic Fiction in English 1800–1930

Book Description

This work offers bibliographical descriptions of all printings of erotic fiction in English issued clandestinely during the period 1800-1930. By 'clandestine' is meant books whose publishers and printers attempt to hide their identities, usually by offering title pages whose misleading places and dates of publication may shock and amuse, but which always aim to mystify. Using internal and external evidence, an attempt is made to establish who were the printers, booksellers and publishers, English and Continental, involved in this trade. The printing families or 'groups' into which a large percentage of the material falls are classified, accompanied by illustrations which identify the main printing characteristics ('house styles') of the groups. Bibliographical descriptions follow a checklist of clandestine catalogues; these provide valuable evidence for dating, pricing and 'sales pitch' and information on items of which no copies can now be traced. The work concludes with a series of appendices which provide significant external evidence, and three indexes: of themes, titles and names. Peter Mendes' original research builds on and significantly extends the essential pioneer work of the Victorian collector and bibliographer H.S. Ashbee ('Pisanus Fraxi').

Book Description

Written by two practitioner-academics (who between them have more than fifty years of news industry experience), News Values analyses the shape of the news industry - a world of rolling news and multimedia platforms, and a world where broadcast news is increasingly considered another element of show business. Detailed chapters include critiques of existing theories, close study of the newspaper, radio, television and internet news channels, plus informative chapters on the many factors that shape the news we read, watch and hear including the role of the citizen journalist, user-generated content, spin doctors, and the new wave of press barons. Further chapters provide detailed analysis of the way in which the same story is treated across different media channels, and how journalists and editors work to keep breathing new life into rolling news stories.

Book Description

The present work fills a gap as it attempts to offer a history of erotic literature published in the United Kingdom. The word Study in the title is perhaps a bit exaggerated as the material is largely taken from the now well known bibliographies by Pisanus Fraxi (Henry Spencer Ashbee) and quotations from the books themselves. The time line is WW II. Who was the author? He may have been Charles Reginald Dawes (1879-1964) who is supposed to have written (but not published) a text of this or a similar title. His profession or his activities are not known - he once called himself a writer but library catalogues credit him only with two publications: The Marquis de Sade (Paris 1927) and Retif de la Bretonne (London 1946, privately printed). He may have been a popular writer under pseudonyms, though. Dawes owned a good erotica collection which he willed to the British Museum Library; that would explain why the author of this Study - if he was Dawes - could quote freely from erotic texts which only few of his contemporaries would have had available. The main merits of this book are that the author was thoroughly familiar with English (and French) erotic literature and that he put his material in chronological order and in context. The editor added a number of references, illustrations and indices of personal names and titles to facilitate navigation.
