Description

Gibson documents the proliferation of sado-masochistic phenomena in England from medieval times onwards, in the family, in schools, brothels, reformatories, and in the armed forces and the colonies; and above all in the development of an enormous literature of flagellant pornography which in the Victorian period even penetrated the correspondence columns and advertisements of apparently respectable family magazines and newspapers.
