Only two in my library (well, three - but you've already cited the Beard bio):

City of Dreadful Delight: Narratives of Sexual Danger in Late-Victorian London, by Judith R. Walkowitz
The Delight of Hearts: Or What You Will Not Find in Any Book, by Ahmand al-Tifashi

This is a tricky one: lilithcat's already taken The delight of hearts, so the best I can do from my library is
Au bonheur des dames by Zola (which is "The ladies' delight" in one translation...)
and I once read Dames' delight by Margaret Forster. 2/5

Don't be so strict, there are other words that mean delight. :-)
