- W2022790837 abstract "Late-Victorian culture was saturated with masochistic phenomena-selfdestructive New Woman heroines; the winter Dionysianism of Beardsley, Swinburne, Pater, and other decadents; the imperial suffering glorified by Kipling, Haggard, and Doyle; the self-flagellations of Hopkins' Catholicism; even the self-martyring spectacle of the Oscar Wilde trials and of De Profundis (1897). Masochism constituted one of the many nether worlds that fin-de-siecle culture explored as revitalizing alternatives to what seemed the increasing hollowness of Victorian society. If Terry Eagleton is right that fin-de-siecle culture performed a collective intellectual suicide (17) as it sought forms of experience outside of bourgeois rationality, then masochism might even be described as the privileged psychic structure linking fin-de-siecle experiments with alternative sexualities, the materiality of the aesthetic symbol, or the unconscious itself-whose perverse and sometimes self-destructive energies were first formally theorized in the 1890s. Perhaps no one exemplifies the centrality of masochism in late-Victorian culture better than Olive Schreiner. Schreiner's masochistic proclivities have been obvious to anyone familiar with her self-defeating protagonists or with the pathos of her own biography: the head-banging; the infatuations with powerful, bullying men; the family persecutions from which, at the very least, she did little to shield herself. But what makes Schreiner's masochism particularly useful in understanding fin-de-siecle culture is the wide range of social boundaries it crossed. A native-born South African with British citizenship; a preeminent feminist who wrote instrumentally about race and imperialism; an obscure, bankrupt missionary's daughter who became the darling of elite London intellectual circles-Schreiner illustrates like no other writer what happens to masochistic fantasy structures as they traverse the domains of gender, class, nation, and race. She is thus an exemplary figure through which to pose questions about how masochism might have mediated between the psyche and the social in latecentury culture." @default.
