First and Only Edition of the authors first published work; 2000 copies were printed. Restif was a remarkably prolific author whose works are to a great degree autobiographical in nature. "Historiographer of the Parisian streets and their public during the Revolution and obsessive chronicler of his own private sexual fantasies Restif is a writer unique and innovatory in his perspective and style. He cuts across all the categories of the classical canon and closes the gap between the psychological novel of the 18th century and the social realism of the 19th." New Oxford Companion to Literature in French His literary admirers included Benjamin Constant Schiller Gérard de Nerval and the surrealists. "Much of Restif's work is libertine and was long excluded from serious studies of literature as cynical vulgar and tasteless. However his genius in recounting his experiences cannot be denied. His depiction of the country the city women though often idealized and nostalgic contains a realism that comes only from intimate knowledge. He insisted that his novels were true. He wrote about the lower classes and simple uneducated peasants whose habits and dialects he knew and captured on paper. . His love of the countryside and admiration for J.-J. Rousseau which earned him the dubious title "Le Rousseau des ruisseaux-The Rousseau of the gutters" fostered his dream of a virtuous and egalitarian republic. Restif de la Bretonne represents a curious amalgam of the idealist and the realist the moralist and the libertine the philosopher and the lover. Gerard de Nerval hailed him as his ''spiritual tutor." His vast imagination his gift of observation and his energy ally him with the likes of Balzac and Zola."
