About the Author
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was born in 1836 in Lemberg in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A prolific novelist, playwright, and historian, he is best known for his erotic obsession with being flagellated by despotic women. He is the man who inspired the word "masochism." In addition to Venus in Furs (1870), Sacher-Masoch's works include Don Juan of Kolomea (1865), Female Sultan (1873), and Galician Stories (1875). He died in Lindheim, Germany in 1895.
Matthew Kaiser is Associate Professor of English at Harvard University.
