Summary "The Romance of Lust" by Anonymous is a classic Victorian erotic novel written in the late 19th century. This provocative narrative dives into themes of sexual awakening, exploration, and taboo relationships through the private experiences of its young protagonist, Charles, as he navigates his desires alongside his sisters, peers, and a scandalous governess, Miss Evelyn. The opening of the novel establishes a setting steeped in both innocence and burgeoning sexuality. It introduces Charles and his sisters, highlighting their obliviousness to the implications of their curious behavior as they begin to explore their bodies together and with their governess. The initial chapters hint at the complex interplay between forbidden desires and formal constraints, as Miss Evelyn becomes a focal point of Charles' awakening sexual curiosity. Explicit descriptions of Charles' encounters with both Miss Evelyn and his sisters set the tone for the book, which promises to venture deep into the themes of youthful sexual exploration entwined with guilt, pleasure, and societal norms of the time.
