    • 1985, David William Foster, Alternate Voices in the Contemporary Latin American Narrative, page 65:
      The following segment may be read as high camp in its clear echoing of the worst prose of parapornographic fiction.
    • 2015, Gary Day, Jack Lynch, The Encyclopedia of British Literature, 3 Volume Set: 1660-1789, page 574:
      Like Love in Excess, the later Fantomina (1725) and other works such as Love-Letters on All Occasions (1730) place their heroines in sexual and social control and, contrary to traditionally parapornographic works, do not punish them for exercising that control. Rather, the women are rewarded for taking charge and subverting social norms.
