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.

In The Dark Thread, scholars examine a set of important and
perennial narrative motifs centered on violence within the family
as they have appeared in French, English, Spanish, and American
literatures. Over fourteen essays, contributors highlight the
connections between works from early modernity and subsequent texts
from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries, in which
incidents such as murder, cannibalism, poisoning, the burial of the
living, the failed burial of the dead, and subsequent apparitions
of ghosts that haunt the household unite “high” and “low”
cultural traditions. This book questions the traditional separation
between the highly honored genre of tragedy and the less respected
and generally less well-known genres of histoires tragiques, gothic
tales and novels, and horror stories. Published by University of
Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
