The first complete and public reprint of this classic Victorian erotic autobiography, penned between approximately 1883 and 1895 by an Englishman of means. In the USA it was finally published without censorship in 1966 by Grove Press, but in 1969 a British printer, Arthur Dobson, was sentenced to two years' prison for producing a UK reprint. The identity of "Walter" is unknown. The most commonly suggested author is Henry Spencer Ashbee (1834 1900). He was a book collector, writer, and bibliographer and, from the three volumes he published under his pseudonym Pisanus Fraxi, the expert on erotic books in his day. Gershon Legman was the first to link "Walter" and Ashbee, in his introduction to the 1962 reprints of Ashbee's bibliographies, and the 1966 Grove Press edition of My Secret Life included an expanded version of that essay.
