''Monsieur Vénus'' ((:məsjø venys)) is a 1884 novel by the French writer Rachilde. It was the second work published by the writer and made her a well-known figure in the public eye at the time 〔Hawthorne, Melanie C. and Liz Constable (2004) ''Monsieur Vénus: roman matérialiste'', New York: Modern Language Association of America, p. xiv〕 due to the novel's controversy 〔Holmes, D. (2001) ''Rachilde: Decadence, gender and the woman writer'', Oxford and New York: Berg, p. 171.〕 The book was published by the Belgian publisher Auguste Brancart with the dedication "''We dedicate this book to physical beauty.''" The first printing was soon banned since the Belgium authorities judged it pornographic and all copies were replaced with a censored version of the novel, upon which all future editions and translated were based until the 2004 publication by The Modern Language Association of America and its companion translation.〔Hawthorne, Melanie C. and Liz Constable (2004) ''Monsieur Vénus: roman matérialiste'', New York: Modern Language Association of America, p. xli〕 ==Summary==
In the novel, noblewoman Raoule de Vénérande falls for the underprivileged flower-maker Jacques Silvert, who shares a garret with his sister. He becomes her mistress and eventually her wife, as Raoule gradually transforms the young man's masculine qualities into feminine ones. An ex-hussar officer and Raoule's suitor, baron de Raittolbe, reluctantly becomes caught up in the plot. The book explores notions of class, sexuality, and gender. It was notable at the time for its thematic sadomasochism and erotism, as well as for its deconstruction of stringent gender roles 〔Holmes, D. (2001) ''Rachilde: Decadence, gender and the woman writer'', Oxford and New York: Berg, pp. 3, 117, 120.〕
