No Customer Reviews
"My Secret Life is by far the most famous and the longest sexual autobiography written in the nineteenth century. It has in it invaluable material for social and cultural historians, literary scholars, students of manners and morals-and it has more of what we might call 'encounters' than any narrative ever penned in English." (James Kincaid, 1996.) First published in 1901 entitled "The Dawn of Sensuality," it has been published in many forms and titles, and seized by censors and police. until it was eventually published in the United States without censorship in 1966 by Grove Press. But in 1969 a British printer, Arthur Dobson, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for producing a reprint in Great Britain. My Secret Life has been described as "one of the strangest and most obsessive books ever written.
