In general, the depiction of sadism and masochism in fiction tends to be portrayed from the viewpoint of masochistic fantasy. Well known works are Justine (1791) by Marquis de Sade, Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (1870) and Story of O (1954) by Anne Desclos. Camille Paglia even traced a strain of masochism in The Faerie Queene (1590) by Edmund Spenser.
