Cook edition by David Price "The Phœnix of Sodom; or, the Vere Street Coterie" by Robert Holloway is a provocative treatise written in the early 19th century. This book serves as an exposé on the notorious Vere Street Coterie, a group implicated in illicit homosexual activities in London, drawing disturbing parallels with the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The author digs into the practices of this group, detailing the lives of the individuals involved and the societal implications of their actions. The narrative centers around James Cook, who recounts his experiences as the proprietor of a brothel frequented by men engaged in homosexual acts. Through a series of anecdotes and detailed descriptions, Holloway illustrates the corrupt world of the Coterie, portraying it as a nest of crime, deceit, and exploitation. He not only describes the lewd behaviors witnessed but also criticizes the legal and societal structures that enable such depravity to continue unchecked. The text is a blend of sensationalism and social commentary, emphasizing the moral decay of his time and calling for accountability from those complicit in upholding the status quo, including corrupt attorneys and law enforcement.
