- The_Sins_of_the_Cities_of_the_Plain abstract "The Sins of the Cities of the Plain; or, The Recollections of a Mary-Ann, with Short Essays on Sodomy and Tribadism, a memoir by the pseudonymous "Jack Saul", is one of the first exclusively homosexual pieces of English-language pornographic literature ever published. It has been suggested that tbe book was largely written by James Campbell Reddie and the painter Simeon Solomon, who had been convicted of public indecency in 1873 and disgraced. It was first published in 1881 by William Lazenby, who printed 250 copies. A second edition was published by Leonard Smithers in 1902.Set in the form of a series of confessional essays, The Sins of the Cities of the Plain tells the tales of Jack Saul, a young rentboy or "Mary-Ann", stated to have been sold to one of his clients, Mr. Cambon, for approximately ₤20 per assignation. Jack Saul was the actual name of a male prostitute who later featured in the Cleveland Street scandal, and other participants in that affair appear as characters. Although the book appears to be mainly fiction, Henry Spencer Ashbee, who included the title in his classic bibliography of erotic literature, suggested that the characters Boulton and Park may have been known to the author(s) in real life. Boulton and Park were an actual duo of Victorian transvestites who appeared as defendants in a celebrated court case of 1871. In The Sins of the Cities of the Plain, Jack Saul in the guise of "Miss Eveline" recounts how he meets Boulton ("Miss Laura") and Park dressed up as women at Haxell's Hotel in the Strand with Boulton's lover and "husband" Lord Arthur Clinton trailing along behind. Jack Saul later spends the night at Boulton and Park's rooms in Eaton Square and the next day has breakfast with them "all dressed as ladies".Pornographic bookseller Charles Hirsch claimed that this was one of the "Socratic" books that he purveyed to Oscar Wilde in 1890.James Jenkins of Valancourt Books noted in 2014 that the only known copy of the original edition of The Sins of the Cities of the Plain is held at the British Library. He also stated that Valancourt's 2013 reprint was the company's best-selling title. In 2013 Valancourt also reprinted Letters from Laura and Eveline (1883), originally marketed as the "appendix" or sequel to The Sins of the Cities of the Plain.".
