The Flea. By You. (pseud).
New York: (Thomas O?Kane), 1870. Later (second) printing. (Published the previous year by George S. Wilcox.) Large 12mo., orig. cloth-backed paper boards with paper label on upper cover, 24, (8)pp. ads. With frontispiece and four additional plates. Bookplate on verso of the front free e/paper, e/papers and inner boards browned, some light wear to edges and a chip out of the front panel but still very good.
?The Flea follows its main character as he hops onto various hosts, finally landing on an attractive sleeping woman, whose slumber he interrupts. Through double entendre and metaphor, the writer explores the woman?s body through the travels of a flea. The storyline employs the familiar literary device of the perspective of a flea or a piece of bedroom furniture, allowing an author to invade the inner sanctum of the bedroom or other intimate events. Although hardly explicit either in text or illustrations, such works had the opportunity to introduce a reader to more substantial forms of erotica.? A focus of U.S. postal inspector Anthony Comstock?s ire, many copies of this title were destroyed.
