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.
