I have encountered a few erotic works which are based on well-known literary classics, and I wondered if members of the group knew of more.
Aunt Anna is one of the books written by that master of erotic chastisement, P N Dedeaux. It is basically a tale set on Vienna about a group of well-upholstered matrons given to chastisement, but it interpolates a thirty-page fragment of a similarly themed parody of 'Wuthering Heights'.
Dedeaux also gives 'the treatment' to 'Jane Eyre', a full-length re-working of that novel given the title An English Education, and also published as Disciplining Jane under the amusing pretence in which the indicated author is Bronte's heroine. There is some justification for this type of reading of 'Jane Eyre', involving the dominant/submissive flavour of the original's treatment of its characters.
The same work of Bronte has recently been given a more 'vanilla' re-working by Eve Sinclair in Jane Eyre Laid Bare.
Martin Pyx' Birch Fever contains Dedeaux-style references to 'Jane Eyre', as might be expected from a dedicated admirer of Dedeaux, who contributed several chapters to some of Pyx' books.

I think the ones I'm referring to are less 'copycat' than re-writings in an erotic way, such as the original authors felt unable to do, in particular for the well-known works, which could not have been erotic in, say, prudish Victorian times.

I'm reading Beastly Behaviour, by Aishling Morgan, (reworking of The Hound of the Baskervilles).
Aramantha Knight wrote a series called "Darker Passions." There's Darker Passions: Dracula, Darker Passions: Frankenstein, Darker Passions; Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, Carmilla, and The Pit and the Pendulum.

Yes, I immediately thought of Aisling Morgan, and his series about the Truscott family does involve pastiches and parodies of various period classics. I'm currently enjoying The Old Perversity Shop, whose major source should be pretty obvious.
Morgan takes a pretty free approach to his sources though, cheerfully throwing in anything that seems to fit to add to the fun. I wonder if, somewhere on the internet, there isn't a place for closer rewritings of out-of-copyright classics, incorporating elements of erotica in the same way that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies et al added horror?

Total-E-Books has a series titled 'Clandestine Classics', claiming to restore the missing sex scenes in everything from Pride and Prejudice to Dracula to A Christmas Carol. (Who knew Scrooge and Marley were lovers?) Promo: "The old fashioned pleasantries and timidity have all been stripped away, quite literally." Some titles are in print - most are e-books only. Don't know if this is in response to demand, but even what's left of Olympia Press operates this way. There about a dozen titles to date, with various 're-authors' sharing the cover.

I can't speak to quality, not having read any. Perhaps once I get through my backlog I'll chance five bucks to see what Mina and Lucy were up to between the published scenes...

Even the late, great Alex Birch posted once that he had no information, except that he was probably dead-o.
Still missing Alex!
A further point: I haven't explored the possible link myself, but if Martin Pyx (floreat circa 1990) is still around he might be able to help. Pyx was a close friend of Dedeaux, to the extent of including his work, to the extent of four stand-alone chapters, in his 'Frolics' quartet. His relationship with, and his admiration for Dedeaux is described in his preface to one of the quarter: Summer Frolics. The four aforesaid chapters appear in that work and in Spring Fevers.

I showed the 1937 Shirley Temple classic "Heidi" at my library the other night. I was talking about it with a friend afterwards, and we agreed that it was ripe for an erotic retelling.
If you made Heidi, say, 17...first she's sent to stay with her stern, strict, old fashioned grandfather, and then lured away to be the companion and plaything of a rich crippled girl who's under the sway of her strict, stern governess. And then the girl's strict, stern father returns to see the progress they'd made, and decided to keep Heidi for a while longer...
