Obsessed with strategies of seduction and speculating endlessly about the motives and goals of lovers, the idle aristocrats who populate French 18th century libertine novels are precooccupied with their erotic lives. Introducing the genre and each of nine stories or novels, this reader presents works by Diderot, Abbe Prevost, Vivant Denon, Crebillon fils, the Marquis de Sade and Laclos, and includes Dangerous Liaisons, 'the masterpiece and swan song of libertine literature'. Felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
