Reception and Themes and Analysis

[edit]

Hello all

I have replaced the Assessments section with two sections: Reception, and Themes and analysis. I have focussed more on published critical analysis of the actual novel rather than general analysis on Sade.

Plot and Chronology

[edit]

Hello all

I have combined the Plot and Chronology sections because in this novel the chronology is pretty much the plot. I have corrected some errors and have summarised some overly detailed information. I have removed unsourced editorial comment and added some information with sources.

There is a misattributed quotation: the paraphrase He would love to destroy the sun or use a star to burn the world, attributed to the Duc de Blangis, actually originates with the Président de Curval, in the penultimate paragraph of the Eighth Day.

Change made. Thanks for pointing that out. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 06:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Manuscript history

[edit]

Hello all

I have changed the title from History to "Manuscript History" because it is the history of the manuscript rather than the novel per se. I have removed some repeated information and written the rest more concisely. I have added some detail to make the story more comprehensible.

Lead

[edit]

Hello all

I have re-written the lead to reflect the new information in the article. I have corrected some information and removed some unsourced information. I have also removed multiple references to information which isn't controversial and is fully referenced in the article.
