George Moore 
Lewis Seymour and Some Women (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

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.
