Birchgrove Press presents, for the first time in one volume, new editions of two classic Victorian flagellant novels written and published by William Lazenby: The Convent School, or Early Experiences of a Young Flagellant and its companion volume, Miss Coote's Confession, or The Voluptuous Experiences of an Old Maid. In The Convent School, which was first published in 1879, a young countess recounts her merciless disciplinary experiences to a friend, Rosa Belinda Coote. In Miss Coote's Confession, which was first published in serial form in Lazenby's The Pearl: A Journal of Faceti and Voluptuous Reading (July 1879 to April 1880 issues), Rosa Coote relates the evolution of her passion for the whip.
