The Book
The original source material for the story is the 1782 epistolary novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. The tale of Valmont and Mertueil is told via a series of letters. The book was published around the time of the French Revolution, and part of its purpose was to show the decay in morals of the nobility.The Play
Playwright Christopher Hampton adapted the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1985. The play was immensely popular, ran for years on the West End, and also ran on Broadway. Its success led to the film adaptation, also scripted by Hampton.Other Film Versions
