Jean de Villiot was a pseudonym used by several authors and compilers working for the publisher Charles Carrington writing novels and “studies” concerning flagellation, including Hugues Rebell (Georges Grassal), Hector France, Stéphane Arnoulin and Charles Carrington, himself. This novel is attributed to George Grassal (Hugues Rebell) originally written in French, in 1902, as “La Femme et son maître” (The Woman and her Master). In 1904 “Woman and her Master” was published in English by Charles Carrington. Often these editions were printed unbound and sent to the bookseller to bind to the specifications of their customers. Missing a “notice” page before title page evident in similar copies (probably left out in the binding process)
