The basic ideas of transgressive fiction are by no means new. Many works that are now considered classics dealt with controversial topics and were sharply criticized by social norms. Early examples include the scandalous composition of the Marquis de Sade and the Comte de Lautreamont "Songs of Maldoror" (1869). Examples are the works of the French writer Emile Zola about social conditions and "bad behavior", as well as the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment" (1866) and "Notes from the Underground" (1864) and "Psychologically conditioned hunger" by the Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun (1890). Sexual extravagance can be seen in two of the earliest European novels, "Satyricon" and "Golden Ass", as well as (with reservations) "Moll Flanders" and some excesses of early Gothic fiction.
