- Notes: Unexpurgated reprint of the 1798 original edition. "Restif''s declared purpose in writing L''Anti-Justine, as his title implies, was to counteract the works of his enemy the Marquis de Sade . . . yet it is still one of the most outrageously pornographic works ever written. Its main theme is that of incest, which it carries to astounding lengths . . . For all Restif''s good intentions . . . the horrors that he associates with Sade manage to creep in"--Kearney, A History of Erotic Literature, page 89. Pia 64-66.
