Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters between two women, Lady Termagant Flaybum and Lady Harriet Tickletail, who share a fascination with the subject of flagellation. The author, through these epistolary exchanges, explores the social and sexual dynamics of the eighteenth century, where corporal punishment and the eroticization of power were intertwined with the evolving notions of morality and class. Through a series of stories and anecdotes, the book delves into the fascinating world of whipping and its place in the lives of both men and women, from the aristocratic drawing rooms to the bustling streets of London. The letters expose a range of human desires and the complex relationship between pleasure and pain, revealing a less sanitized and more provocative side to the era. This book offers a unique glimpse into the hidden undercurrents of eighteenth-century society, where whipping served as a powerful symbol of both punishment and erotic desire.
