The Romance of Lust, or Early Experiences is a Victorian erotic novel published anonymously in four volumes during the years 1873â€"1876 by William Lazenby.

The novel is told in first person, and the protagonist of the novel is Charlie Roberts. The novel begins with “There were three of us â€" Mary, Eliza, and myself.” Charlie catalogs his sexual experiences with his governesses, various male and female friends, and acquaintances. The book deals with a variety of sexual activities and taboo subjects.

Henry Spencer Ashbee, bibliophile, bibliographer, merchant, and expert on the writer Cervantes, discusses this novel in one of his bibliographies of erotic literature. The compilers of British Museum General Catalogue of Printed Books also list this book.

Questions of authorship exist for this novel, and there are two likely candidates, William Simpson Potter, and Edward Sellon. Sellon is the author of other erotic novels and a book on snake worship, whereas Potter wrote and had privately printed two books of letters on the Prince of Wales’ visit to India in 1875â€"1876.

From examining the text in Letters from India during H. R. H. the Prince of Wales visit in 1875â€"6, from William S. Potter to his sister, one could make a stronger case for Potter, as there are similarities in writing style between the book of letters and The Romance of Lust.

A must-have for classic literature fans!
