Ordinary Masochisms: Agency and Desire in Victorian and Modernist Fiction
Jennifer Mitchell
Reveals how literary works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries frequently challenged the prevailing view of masochism as a deviant behaviour, an opinion supported by many sexologists and psychoanalysts in the 1800s. In these texts, Jennifer Mitchell highlights everyday examples of characters deriving pleasure from pain.
