The Power of Mesmerism / A Highly Erotic Narrative of Voluptuous Facts and Fancies

This Victorian-era erotic novella centers on mesmerism, using the popular nineteenth-century fascination with hypnotic influence as the basis for a series of fictional encounters and romantic intrigues. Combining elements of fantasy, sensation, and period social attitudes, the work reflects the conventions of clandestine erotic literature rather than scientific discussions of mesmerism.
