About this ebook:
In de zeventiende eeuw verschijnen tien Nederlandse romans waarin allerlei randfiguren vertellen over hun leven aan de onderkant van de maatschappij. De vertellers slaan twee vliegen in één klap: zij kunnen breeduit over seks schrijven en hun kritiek op de hypocriete maatschappij spuien. Het woord is aan de onderkant onderzoekt waarom juist aan het einde van de zeventiende eeuw bij Nederlandse auteurs (en lezers) interesse ontstond voor pornografie. De gematigde brave burger maakt in deze studie korte tijd plaats voor de radicale libertijn, die heilige huisjes omver trapt en de onderkant bovenhaalt.'Seks is goed voor de ziel, zo werd betoogd, en dus leidraad voor het zedelijk leven. Met die opvatting kreeg het primaat van religie als levensbeschouwing het zwaar te verduren.'Jonathan Israel in NRC Handelsblad
