See, if you do enjoy 19th C lit at all, you should hunt it down. It's sooooo bizarre. Another really bizarre one--actually more functionally messed up, but written for the purpose of being titillating rather than religious--is The Quaker City: or, The Monks of Monk-Hall. George Lippard. Seriously. Tarantino levels of violence and heaving bosoms on every page. Fantastically awful.
