Flagellant novel
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"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."--Catena Librorum Tacendorum (1885) by Henry Spencer Ashbee |

Flagellant novels were a popular form of erotic fiction in eighteenth and nineteenth century England. Predictably, these dealt graphically with erotic whipping and spanking of women, schoolgirls and others. One book by The Mysteries of Verbena House is typical of the genre. A French example is L'École des biches.
