The Way of a Man with a Maid
- The Way of a Man with a Maid
"The Way of a Man with a Maid" is an anonymous work of Victorian erotica. The story concerns the forcible seduction of a girl called Alice by a Victorian gentleman called Jack, who has converted one of the rooms in his house into a kind of erotic torture chamber called 'the Snuggery'. Although the book is quite perverse, containing scenes of rape, mother-daughter incest, bondage, whipping and lesbianism, plus odd things done with feathers, it has a strangely quirky sense of humour.
The protagonist Jack returns in another anonymous work of erotica called "A Weekend Visit", in which he entertains three lady friends at their house in the country.
"The Way of a Man with a Maid" was adapted as a film entitled "What the Swedish Butler Saw" (1975) starring Sue Longhurst as Alice and Ole Soltoft as Jack.
