It collected erotic tales, poems, limericks, parodies, and letters – a mixture of high-society seduction, taboo eroticism, and playful ribaldry. This Grove Press edition brings together six issues of the magazine’s stories and miscellany, offering the provocative, boundary-pushing writing that scandalised Victorian readers, wrapped in a sensational sixties cover. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eWith its soft-focus erotic cover photograph and romantic revival typeface, this 1968 Grove Press paperback belongs to the sixties wave of republishing Victorian literature with groovy, modern redesigns. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003ePlease note: the book reflects the language and social norms of its era, some of which may feel outdated or offensive now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jouissance","offers":[{"title":"Grove Press Paperback","offer_id":57506108342653,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/6054\/9167\/files\/9.png?v=1765279909","url":"https:\/\/shop.jouissanceparfums.com\/products\/the-pearl","provider":"Jouissance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
