The Marquis de Sade: A Very Short Introduction

Published by e-man | Filed under Biographies



John Phillips, The Marquis de Sade: A Very Short Introduction
Oxford University Press | ISBN 0192804693 | 2005 | PDF | 1 MB | 160 pages

Hailed by the early 20th-century French poet Guillaume Apollinaire as ‘the freest spirit who ever lived’, but demonized throughout the last two hundred years as a misogynistic pornographer, and as the original proponent of sexual sadism and lustmurder, the Marquis de Sade is a creature of myth. The popular assumption that Sade was as sadistic as his monstrous fictional villains is still current today among the majority of the population who have never read a line of his work. In fact, Sade’s thought, which is expressed at great length in novels, short stories, plays, critical essays, and personal correspondence, is considerably more complex than allowed by any of the simplistic labels, positive or negative, associated with this mythical reputation.
