Most typical 19th century book
1905 advertisement in "Le Rire" for bibliophiles of all tastes in the area of aberrant and deviant sex.
The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw the production of a wide range of flagellant
material in England. A
book held by one writer to be "the most typical" of all the late nineteenth century English
flagellant novels was
a book called "The Mysteries of Verbena House: or, Miss Bellasis birched for
thieving." The author signed
himself simply Etonensis. A critic remarked - "After wading through so many dull, insipid, if
not absolutely
repulsive books on the subject, it is a relief to alight at last upon one which tact and clever
writing render almost
readable."
