5.0 out of 5 stars
An Eye Opening Experience,
By Gerald Browning (Grand Rapids, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Marquis de Sade Reader (Paperback)
The name "Marquis de Sade", has marked itself in the English language and few know why. He is a writer who is "...more talked about than read." However, after reading this text on the controversial author, the reader gets a more realistic view on who this man was and why he is controversial.
Margaret Crosland intertwines Sade's work with her own analysis and provides background and rationale behind his logic. Of course, there are several passages that can be quite stimulating (and just plain gross). However depraved you may think Sade is (and this is speaking from an avid researcher of his work) the value in de Sade's writing comes from your reaction to his work. Bravo to Crosland for giving us an objective viewpoint into de Sade! |
