Henry Spencer Ashbee Ordre des livres
Henry Spencer Ashbee fut un bibliographe et collectionnaire de livres passionné, célèbre pour sa vaste et clandestine bibliographie en trois volumes de littérature érotique. Il évoluait au sein d'un cercle intellectuel informel de gentlemen victoriens qui discutaient librement de sujets sexuels, un contraste frappant avec les mœurs de l'époque. Sa collection, qui a constitué la base des fonds remarquables du British Museum, comprenait des milliers de volumes en plusieurs langues, continuant à provoquer et à fasciner les érudits comme les amateurs de littérature.
