"De Sade's mammoth two-part novel, La Nouvelle Justine, ou les Malheurs de la Vertu... was published in ten volumes in 1797. Justine occupies the first four volumes, Juliette the last six. Justine exists in three versions altogether, the first written in the Bastille in 1787 (in fifteen days, according to the author), the second published in 1791. The story is basically the same, but the 1797 is much extended. It relates the experiences of a virtuous and pious young woman at the hands of various sexual criminals. The sequel, Juliette, tells of the careeer of [ ] her sister, who instead of abominating lechery embraces it.

La Nouvelle Justine... contained one hundred engravings, roughly ten per volume, which in style and content are fairly typical of the woodcuts illustrating more orthodox 18th-century tales."
