In “Eugénie de Franval,” Sade tries to merge these two traditions. A reading of Sade’s short story in the light of Edmund Burke’s A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful can help us understand the confusion of poetics and of sexual identities that is at the centre of the act of writing for the marquis. |
