No Tomorrow: The Ethics of Pleasure in the French Enlightenment

Traces the moral meaning of pleasure in several libertine works of the eighteenth-century. In this ambitious book, Cusset reframes the often misunderstood genre that celebrates what Casanova calls “the present enjoyment of the senses.” She contends libertine works are linked by an “ethics of pleasure” that teaches readers that vanity and sensual enjoyment are part of their moral being.
