In this book, written entirely in letters, we meet a young Victorian couple who are, at least in the beginning, profoundly ignorant of anything to do with sex. Then they meet a “woman with experience”, and their sexual education begins. They are soon awakened to their amorous longings and describe exactly how that happens in a series of letters. This book is for adults only, since the descriptions describe a wide variety of sexual activities very explicitly. Like many books of Victorian erotica, this book is a fascinating look at the “other side” of the Victorian era.

"Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis" è un romanzo di Ugo Foscolo, considerato il primo romanzo epistolare della letteratura italiana, nel quale sono raccolte le 67 lettere che il protagonista, Jacopo Ortis, mandò all'amico Lorenzo Alderani, che dopo il suicidio di Jacopo le avrebbe date alla stampa corredandole di una presentazione e di una conclusione. Vagamente ispirato ad un fatto reale, e al modello letterario de "I dolori del giovane Werther" di Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, l'opera risente molto dell'influsso di Vittorio Alfieri.
