Opis

"The Memoirs of Dolly Morton" is perhaps one of the most uncompromising works published by the infamous Charles Carrington during the latter part of the 1900's.

Recounting Dolly's misadventures while intent on freeing slaves in the southern states, the work leaves nothing to the imagination. Whilst her narration of the events and chosen chapter headings show an almost fact-like detachment, Dolly describes other events in a visceral prose that exemplifies the evils man can wrought upon man. Only by enduring the hardships herself, will Dolly understand the plight that all slaves suffered.

Pseudonymously written by 'Jean De Villiot' in 1899, this edition includes a rare preface from the same year by the original publisher describing the events surrounding this tumultuous period in American history. An important edition for any Victorian erotic collection.
