Download or read book At Home With The Marquis De Sade written by Francine Du Plessix Gray. This book was released on 2013-03-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donatien Alphonse Francois, Marquis de Sade (1740-1814), one of the most perplexing personalities of Western culture, has been called 'the freest spirit who ever lived' and 'a frenetic and abominable assemblage of all crimes and obscenities'. Yet scant attention has been given to the two women who were the catalysts of his fate: his loyal, tolerant wife, Renee-Pelagie, and his vindictive mother-in-law, Madame de Montreuil. This groundbreaking account vividly brings to life these two dynamic women and the complex bonds they evolved with the rakish Marquis, as they dedicated themselves to protecting, curbing and, ultimately, confining him. Francine du Plessix Gray draws on thousands of pages of correspondence between the magnetic, aristocratic Marquis de Sade and his plain, bourgeois wife, to explore in historical and psychological detail what it was like to live with this maverick adventurer and man of letters in the decades before the French Revolution. She brilliantly recreates the extravagant hedonism and corruption of late-18th-century France, the ensuing Terror, and the oppression of the Napoleonic regime under which de Sade spent his last years.

Book Synopsis Sade's Sensibilities by : Kate Parker

Download or read book Sade's Sensibilities written by Kate Parker. This book was released on 2014-11-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sade’s Sensibilities tells a new story of one of the most enduring and controversial figures in European literature. Blending ideas about subjectivity, identity and natural philosophy with politics and pornography, D.A.F. de Sade has fascinated writers and readers for two hundred years, and his materialist account of the human condition has been widely influential in post-structuralism, nihilism, and feminism. This new collection of essays considers Sade’s Enlightenment legacy, both within and beyond the narratives of radicalism and aberration that have historically marked the study of his oeuvre. From different points of view, these essays argue that Sade engaged with and influenced traditional Enlightenment paradigms—particularly those related to sensibility, subjectivity, and philosophy—as much as he resisted them. They thus recover a Sade more relevant, even foundational to our twenty-first century understanding of modernity, selfhood, and community. In Sade’s Sensibilities Sade is no longer a solitary, peripheral radical, but an Enlightenment philosopher in his own right.

Book Synopsis Sade’s Philosophical System in its Enlightenment Context by : Henry Martyn Lloyd

Download or read book Sade’s Philosophical System in its Enlightenment Context written by Henry Martyn Lloyd. This book was released on 2018-09-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book connects the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade—one of the most notorious, iconic, and yet poorly-understood figures within the history of European thought—with the broader themes of the Enlightenment. Rather than seeing himself as a mere pornographer, Sade understood himself as continuing the progressive tradition of French Enlightenment philosophy. Sade aspired to be a philosophe. This book uses intellectual history and the history of philosophy to reconstruct Sade’s philosophical ‘system’ and its historical context. Within the period’s discourse of sensibility Sade draws on the philosophical and the literary to form a relatively sophisticated ‘system’ which he deploys to critically engage with the two major strands of eighteenth-century ethical theory: the moral sense and natural law traditions. This work is of interest to: ‘Continental’ Philosophy, Critical Theory, French Studies, the History of Eighteenth-Century Philosophy, Literary Studies, the History of Moral Philosophy, and Enlightenment Studies.

Book Synopsis The Marquis de Sade's Stratagem of Love by : Bedrettin Simsek

Download or read book The Marquis de Sade's Stratagem of Love written by Bedrettin Simsek. This book was released on 2023-07-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revival of the classical style in the comedy genre. A two-act play for at least five actors (2m, 3f) based on the short story "The Love Stratagem" by Marquis de Sade. Almost all the lines, plot, intrigues and characters except for Villeblanche were created by the author. So much so that the play does not contradict the style of the Marquis de Sade, either literally or intellectually. It is a comedy reminiscent of Molière, but with a Sadean taste. A woman disguised as a man is a typical Shakespearean theme. Bedrettin brought this theme into the work with the same sense of humor. The characteristics of the play include the use of double entendre, cross-dressing, comic love scenes, physical seduction, cynicism and other forms of daring language. There are no sets or props in the play except for chairs. Therefore, it has a low cost and is suitable for touring. For those who want to rediscover classic comedy with a modern touch.
