'It is time to die, Madame: there shall be no mercy for you..!' It
was one of the most shocking crimes of the seventeenth century, and
would provide Sade with the inspiration for the last novel he
published. The beautiful and virtuous Euphrasie, admired by the
King himself, falls in love with the young and handsome Alphonse,
Marquis de Gange. Within the forbidding walls of his castle in
Provence, however, sinister forces are conspiring against the young
couple. Alphonse's brothers, the Abbe and the Chevalier, want
Euphrasie for themselves. Published in English for the first time,
The Marquise de Gange is a neglected Gothic classic by one of the
most notorious authors in the literary canon. Although a departure
from his earlier pornographic and libertine works, beneath the
novel's thin veneer of respectability lurks the same subversive
presence of an author plotting against virtue in distress.
