n/a : Bible

'For Tom Barclay, son of a Catholic rag-and-bone collector, the erotic episodes in the Douay Bible "aroused my curiosity as to sexual matters". He found some answers in secondhand schooltexts of Ovid, Juvenal and Catullus: though he knew no Latin beyond the Mass, the English notes offered plenty of background on the filthy loves of gods and goddesses".'
