Collection: Modern Passion

Twentieth-century expressions of love—from Lawrence's controversial Lady Chatterley's Lover to Fleming's romantic thrillers, from Claude Cahun's avant-garde inscriptions to C.S. Lewis's theological exploration of affection. This collection represents modern love's complexity: explicit passion, psychological depth, political context, and philosophical inquiry. Features signed and inscribed first editions, photobooks including Araki's Sentimental Journey, Beardsley's illustrated Venus and Tannhäuser, and works that challenged conventions—including Barbara Cartland's popular romances alongside literary modernism.
