Abstract: The greatest epistolary novel, Les Liaisons dangereuses simultaneously illustrates and perverts the laws of its genre. The correspondence born from the libertine wager between the Viscount de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil reveals the false pretenses of aristocratic society and demystifies libertinage like it elucidates devout moralism.
