{"product_id":"2940013236233","title":"Lady Bumtickler's Revels","description":"This is what you read on a Saturday, waiting for lunch, not wanting to get too warm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo ladies begin the book, discussing the opera which will take up the last three-fourths of the work. The theme is that #1 Victorian fascination: spanking. Women and one man are doing the spanking here—the victims are both men and women. There is no sex so if your mother asks what the fascination of flagellation is, this is the book you would give her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne new theme here is age play. Women and men pretend to be youngsters who need a spanking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was printed in 1872 at 66 Drury Lane, London, a location which hosted printers since at least the latter 18th century. An undertaker worked there from 1815 to 1828.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether the opera was ever actually performed is doubtful. It would be interesting to see it staged in the 21st century! One of the characters says “I have not a doubt but it will be acted in a thousand private theatres.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictoria has been on the throne 35 years when this is printed, a bit past half her reign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis, the fifth in the Authentic Victorian Erotica series, is the earliest volume originally published of those five. The next would be \"The Pearl\" magazine in 1879.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present edition contains 22 notes by the 2011 editor translating unfamiliar words or pinpointing allusions. There are 4 modern illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy perhaps the most ribald opera every written, \"Lady Bumtickler’s Revels.\"","brand":"Jump Information","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068735799536,"sku":"2940013236233","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013236233_p0.jpg?v=1763578292","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013236233","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
