About This Book
"Was La Comtesse de Segur a sadist, as many critics have suggested: True, there are as many whips in her novels as in a torture chamber. The pages are filled with illustrations befitting of sado-masochistic fantasies: cruel parents, and guardians flagellating half-naked children. This in-depth study is a defense of this misunderstood and misrepresented nineteenth-century French author.
It explores specific accusations of sadism against Segur and reinterprets the violent scenes in her novels against the backdrop of these accusations."--BOOK JACKET.
