One of the notable works in this genre is 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' which, while controversial, was a significant piece of literature from that era with elements that could be considered in the realm of 'erotic' for its time. However, it was also much more than that, exploring themes of class, love, and the human condition.
There is also 'Fanny Hill' which was quite popular during the Victorian era. It contains explicit sexual content that was considered scandalous at the time. But it also gives an insight into the sexual mores and taboos of Victorian society through its narrative.
Another work that had some elements of this was 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. Although not strictly 'erotic' in a traditional sense, it had undertones that challenged the Victorian moral code, especially in relation to the character of Dorian Gray's hedonistic pursuits.
