The Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night
Description
The Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night (1886–88). Burton’s 16 volumes, while boasting many prominent admirers, have been criticized for their "archaic language and extravagant idiom" and "obsessive focus on sexuality"; they have even been called an "eccentric ego-trip" and a "highly personal reworking of the text". His voluminous and obscurely detailed notes and appendices have been characterized as “obtrusive, kinky and highly personal”.
