The Way of a Man with a Maid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 1924 film serial, see The Way of a Man.
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 bondage, whipping and lesbianism, plus odd things done with feathers, it has a strangely quirky sense of humour.
It was adapted as a film entitled What the Swedish Butler Saw (1975) starring Sue Longhurst as Alice and Ole Soltoft as Jack.
