The Crimes of Love (French: Les Crimes de l'amour, Nouvelles héroïques et tragiques) is a collection of novellas by Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, better known as the Marquis de Sade, published in 1800, though many of the stories were written years earlier already. The 1800 edition included eleven tales, arranged in four volumes. Despite the year of publishing, David Coward judges de Sade to be rather a writer in the baroque tradition than in the gothic one.[1]
