The Romance of Chastisement

ByKaren Posted on Illustrated Books, Comics & Magazines

~ First published in 1870

The Romance of Chastisement is a Victorian pornographic collection. It explores the theme of flagellation. St George Stock, a probable pseudonym, is credited with The Whippingham Papers. The collection was published by John Camden Hotten in 1866.

William Lazenby reprinted it in 1883. Charles Carrington reprinted it again in 1902 as The Magnetism of the Rod or the Revelations of Miss Darcy. In the same year Carrington published a French translation by Jean de Villiot. Hugues Rebell, whose real name was George Grassal, translated it under the title Le Magnétisme du Fouet. It was also known as les Indiscrétions de Miss Darcy.

It took me some time to connect various publications and since I am no expert I might have made some mistakes, but I think these books are connected to the original publication:

  • Album 1 - The Romance of Chastisement (1870) - unknown artist

  • Album 2 - The Quintesse of Birch Discipline, a sequel on the Romance of Chastisement (1870) - unknown artist

  • Album 3 - Le Magnetisme du Fouet (1902) - by William Adolphe Lambrecht

  • Album 4 - Magnetismus der Peitsche (1908) - unknown artist
