Although the first medico-scientific treatise on the subject came from Germany by way of the German doctor Johann Heinrich Meibom, flagellation is often considered to be 'le vice anglais' (the British vice) par excellence. Mario Praz came to this conclusion, corroborated by both Ashbee and Eugene Dühren, on the basis of the fact that most flagellant novels have been produced in Anglo-Saxon countries.
In his appendix "Swinburne and 'Le Vice Anglais'" in his classic study The Romantic Agony, Praz traces the literary trope of the sadistic Englishman in French and Italian literature to George Selwyn, Frederick Hankey and Algernon Swinburne. He finds this stereotype in the novels La Faustin by Edmond de Goncourt, Il Piacere by Gabriele d'Annunzio and Monsieur du Paur by Paul-Jean Toulet.
