Venus School-Mistress, Or, Birchen Sports is a vintage English flagellant novel that was first published in 1788 (or 1810) and has been expanded and republished many times since. It was published anonymously and is one of history's first flagellant novels.
This collection of fiction, verse, drama, and philosophy on the theme of flagellation includes such varied selections as the experiences of "Miss R. Birch," daughter of a woman who kept a day school, and who never let pass an opportunity to flog her pupils; the romantic recollections of Betsy Thoughtless who recounts how she lost her maidenhead, and that she applied the rod to her cousin-lover at his own request; the philosophy of Thackery Paedagogus; and a story in verse about the adventures of Miss Agnes Scophonisba Snell, the butcher's daughter, and her instructor, Mr. Mountwhackaway.
A Venus School Mistress was published by George Cannon circa 1830.
