Georges de Lys's An Idyll in Sodom, originally published
in 1889, and here made available in its first English translation, by
Brian Stableford, is a significant contribution to a subgenre of French
Romantic fiction consisting of lush representations of "moeurs antiques"
[ancient mores], a spectacular landmark of which was established with
Salammbô by Gustave Flaubert, to whom the current
novel is, in fact, dedicated.
