Encyclopedic overview
Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne, born Nicolas-Edme Rétif or Nicolas-Edme Restif ( French: [ʁetif]; 23 October 1734 – 3 February 1806), also known as Rétif, was a French novelist. The term retifism for shoe fetishism was named after him (an early novel, entitled Fanchette's Foot, concerns a woman and her pretty little foot, which, with her pretty face, gets her and her shoe/s into much trouble). He was also reputed to have invented the term "pornographer" for the same-named book, The Pornographer.
