"L'Anti-Justine; ou, Les Delices de l'amour" by Restif de La Bretonne is a novel published in 1798. Presented as the memoirs of lawyer Jean-Pierre Linguet, this work explicitly positions itself as a response to the Marquis de Sade's notorious writings. The author seeks to create an equally sensuous but non-violent erotic work, replacing Sade's cruelty with pleasure. The novel remains unfinished, with only four copies ever printed before the author's appointment to a police position apparently prompted caution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
