The Adventures of Master F.J.

"The Adventures of Master F.J." is a story that recounts the love affair between a young man named Freeman Jones and a married woman named Elinor. The story is told through letters, poems and third-person commentary, and traces the events of the affair from initial attraction through seduction to explicit sexual encounters and their consequences. The author, George Gascoigne, based the story on a real-life scandal and later re-issued it, changing the setting to Italy and renaming the characters. This scandalous tale offers a glimpse into the illicit love affairs of the past and the consequences that often came with them."
