Lewis Seymour and Some Women — George Moore

This 1917 novel tells the tale of a handsome, struggling artist who carelessly manipulates women for his own advantage -- including Lady Helen Seely, the rich and beautiful aristocrat whom he seduces and marries. The novel is a rewriting of Moore's first novel, A Modern Lover, which was banned from circulating libraries due to its explicit descriptions of the protagonist's blatant use of women.
