Exploring the moral implications of pleasure, this award-winning work delves into notable libertine literature from the eighteenth century. It examines influential pieces such as Watteau's art, Prévost's "Manon Lescaut," and Diderot's "La religieuse," among others. The analysis highlights how these texts reflect the complexities of desire and ethics, weaving together themes of love, sexuality, and societal norms in a richly historical context.
