Description

About the work

Seeded

100 Erotic Illustrations is a book by MARQUIS DE SADE. The Oregon prison-ban record treats the book as excluded reading inside state custody, which shows how prison and mailroom censorship function as a government reading regime.

Its interest lies partly in the way literary or informational writing gets collapsed into a public-morality problem. As a book, it can be read not only for subject matter but for the way form, tone, and circulation make a text feel dangerous, intimate, or politically usable to anxious officials.

It also matters as part of a wider censorship history in Oregon. The present page is a dossier starter built from source-tracked ban records; the surviving note currently says: The Oregon prison-ban record treats the book as excluded reading inside state custody, which shows how prison and mailroom censorship function as a government reading regime. The exported row does not preserve a fuller. More publication history, translations, and close reading can be added later.
