Sainte-Beuve is referring to romanciers such as Eugène Süe, whose sensational roman populaire, Latréaumont (1837), details the gothic, dark, and noir adventures of the eponymous protagonist who inspired Isidore Ducasse to adopt Lautréamont as his nom de plume. Although Sainte-Beuve is reluctant to admit Sade into the precincts of the literary lionized by Byron—“(je demande pardon du rapprochement)”—he is forced to do so by Sade’s “clandestine” omnipresence in nineteenth-century culture.
