Description:The Encyclopedia of Erotic Literature is a two-volume work that contains
some 540 entries on erotic literature on an international scale. The
Encyclopedia has an unprecedented scope, the first scholarly reference
resource to bring the field together in all its fascinating variety. The
entries examine the history of the literature in different countries
and languages from classical antiquity to the present day, individual
writers from around the world (not all of them necessarily known as
specialist writers of erotic literature), significant works, genres and
critical approaches, and general themes pertinent to erotic literature
(nudity, prostitution, etc.).
