The Reinvention of Obscenity: Sex, Lies, and Tabloids in Early Modern France
Joan DeJean
The concept of obscenity is an ancient one. But as Joan de Jean suggests, its modern form, the same that today's politicians decry, was invented in seventeenth century France. This work also casts a fresh light on the mythical link between sexual impropriety and all things French.
