Description
Victoria's world is one of unbridled desire and unrelenting violence. In this Gothic novel, Charlotte Dacre explores the darker aspects of female experience, where the boundaries between pleasure and pain are blurred. Inspired by a mysterious and seductive figure, Victoria embarks on a path of destruction, driven by her own desires and ambitions. As she navigates a world of lust and cruelty, her body undergoes a transformation, becoming stronger and more masculine in the process. This edition includes Dacre's poetry and excerpts from Bienville's Nymphomania, a medical treatise that sheds light on the dangers of women's imagination and the consequences of unchecked desire.
