The Collected Erotica: An Illustrated Celebration of Human Sexuality Through the Ages

This fabulous anthology presents over 400 images — paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculpture — selected from private collections, libraries and galleries from around the world. The texts are contributed from a dazzling array of writers that include Boccaccio, Casanova, John Cleland, Jean Cocteau, Frank Harris, Erica Jong, Violette Leduc, Henry Miller, Mirabeau, Anais Nin, Pauline Reage, and Oscar Wilde. The Collected Erotica is not for the faint-hearted, but there is something here for everyone else. After all, sex is far too important to be taken too seriously.
