The Reinvention of Obscenity - Sex, Lies, and Tabloids in Early Modern France

A propos de l'auteur

Résumé

The concept of obscenity is an ancient one. But as Joan deJean suggests, its modern form, the same that today's politicians decry, was invented in 17th century France. This work also casts a fresh light on the mythical link between sexual impropriety and all things French.
