Where Can I Find Or Compile A List Of Erotic Writers Throughout History?
I’m doing a paper and wanted to try to find erotic writers from different time periods but all I can find are writings from two people Caligula and the Marquis De Sade. If there is no definative list (which I suspect) I’m willing to do some leg work if anyone can point me in the right direction.
