Venus in India Charles Devereaux — Steamy smut from the Victorian era! Venus in India is said to be the autobiography of a British Army officer serving on the North West Frontier of India, describing his erotic adventures with Lizzie Wilson and the three daughters of Colonel Selwyn. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian 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. First published in 1889, this classic of Victorian pornography was written by the pseudonymous Charles Devereaux.
