The Cremorne
Introduction '''''The Cremorne''''' was a pornographic magazine published by William Lazenby in London in 1882 (but falsely backdated to 1851). The title alludes to Cremorne Gardens which had by that time become a haunt of prostitutes. The magazine was a sequel to ''The Pearl''. ''The Cremorne'' folded in 1882.The story "The Secret Life of Linda Brent" is an obscene parody of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl", by Harriet Jacobs writing under the pseudonym of Linda Brent. It is in the same vein as "My Grandmother's Tale", previously published in ''The Pearl''.
