In this deeply researched study, Mahon moves gracefully from a thorough exposition and analysis of Sade’s life and work to his many critics. . . . She leaves her readers with the urgent reflection that Sade’s function has unceasingly been to provoke an assessment of life’s value. This is a timely and important book and should be widely read.\"\u003cb\u003e---Katharine Conley, \u003ci\u003eFrench Forum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A beautifully written and meticulously researched defense of another kind. Mahon deftly narrates the history of Sade the person as well as what she calls the ‘Sadean imagination’. . . . Mahon’s study of Sade and defense of his texts as central to the legacies of the avant-garde are, no doubt, well-argued and deeply researched, and they make for a compelling read; the book is a significant and important contribution.\"\u003cb\u003e---Angelique Szymanek, \u003ci\u003eCAA Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865522155863,"sku":"9780691141619","price":38.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691141619.jpg?v=1722274372","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-marquis-de-sade-and-the-avantgarde-9780691141619","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
