The Victorians may have attempted to show the world they were upright, strict and full of virtue but much of this thinking has been subverted by their erotic and pornographic writing. As the title suggests this erotic Victorian novel delves deeply into flagellation as well as a range of sexual acts that undoubtedly shocked but titillated it's original readers early in the 20th century.
