Book SynopsisHere she made her way into the heart of literary society in the heyday of the Enlightenment, wrote a novel – the Lettres d’une Péruvienne (1747) – that made her an international celebrity, wrote a play – Cénie (1750) – that ranked among the ten most successful new plays of the century, and became a noted salon hostess.Trade Review'This is a very good book, thoroughly researched and admirably well written.'Modern Language Review'It is impossible to separate Graffigny’s life (and thus her biography) from her correspondence, but in its quotidian minutiae, a correspondence, even one as personal, rich and continuous as Graffigny’s, cannot present a coherent overview. With his intimate knowledge of all her writings, Showalter provides the necessary perspective. His biography navigates through the correspondence and other documents to give shape and direction to Graffigny’s life, highlighting how her struggle for independence paralleled her development as an author and how her social gifts for forming friendships and intellectual bonds with many of the period’s renowned authors, philosophes, and playwrights helped her create the network and support crucial to succeed as a writer, a dramatist and a salonnière.'French ReviewTable of ContentsList of illustrationsAcknowledgementsList of abbreviationsIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisConfiscations at customs focuses on specific issues concerning banned books and their importation into Paris, including works by Voltaire, Fleuriot de Langle and Raynal, as well as discussing piracies and works published or imported by virtue of the tacit permit.Trade Review'[Dawson’s] approach brings vividly to life the actual practices of the customs officers whose job it was to try to stem the flood of prohibited or suspect books engulfing France at this time.'Modern Language Review'Dawson has written an excellent scholarly work supported by extensive documentation both in print and online. [...] This volume can also serve as a case study in using primary source materials in archival collections. Dawson takes great care to present his methodology in examining two principal registers and in coordinating information from additional multiple sources.'Libraries and the Cultural Record'By so thoroughly demonstrating the complexities and interconnections of book censorship and book circulation in 18th-century France, Dawson’s Confiscationsproves to be an excellent resource for scholars.'New Perspectives on the Eighteenth-CenturyTable of ContentsList of illustrationsForewordAbbreviations, acronyms, frequently cited sources and special termsIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisTrade Review'[…] ce riche volume est une mise au point utile, quant aux différents domaines de recherche actuelle concernant le roman français […].

Stewart and Delon have compiled an ensemble of studies with breadth and depth.

Book SynopsisTrade Review'Ferrand’s thematic approach enables her to give equal weight to well-known and anonymous illustrators. […] This well-conceived anthology serves to widen access to many illustrated novels of the period, and hopefully it will stimulate further investigation in what remains an under-researched area.'- French Studies, vol. 64, n° 4'Le vaste répertoire iconographique invitera le lecteur non initié à découvrir la richesse de ce champ de recherche en plein essor, alors que les commentaires de l’auteure permettront au spécialiste d’y glaner des réflexions des plus stimulantes.'- French Review, 85:4'The selection of certain texts outside the literary canon, including libertine and pornographic novels, adds richness and originality to her examination […] The images were chosen from a vast corpus of illustrations on the basis of their connection with reading, books and libraries. This unifying theme is a compelling one, the images representing at once a reflection and a mise en abime of text itself and providing a fascinating standpoint from which to examine the act of reading.'Journal of Eighteenth-Century StudiesTable of ContentsI.

LUP - Voltaire Foundation Edward Gibbon Essai Sur L233tude De La Litterat
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewMankin’s superb edition of the Essai, one of the greatest products of a truly international Republic of Letters, allows a great work of criticism, a civilised and civilizing text, to come back into fructifying circulation.- Essays in CriticismL’ouvrage de Mankin propose une lecture très fouillée du texte de Gibbon avec de nombreuses incursions dans d’autres œuvres de l’auteur comme l’Histoire de la décadence et de la chute de l’Empire romain et les Mémoires. Il s’appuie sur des références multiples en soulignant notamment la modernité de la demarche historiographique de Gibbon dès les années 1760, bien avant la publication de l’Histoire de la décadence et de la chute de l’Empire Romain.- Les Lettres romanesMankin’s edition is a remarkable effort to try and elucidate the genesis and status of the Essai, in the light both of the contemporary history of ideas and publications, in France and in England, and of Gibbon’s own intellectual development [...] This volume has the scrupulous precision of the whole SVEC collection, and the Voltaire Foundation must again be praised for its continuous and rare support of erudite research on the Enlightenment period. With the profusion of Mankin’s references and sources, and the way he succeeds in making them resonate through Gibbon’s text, this critical edition proves a very rewarding read for all of those interested in the intellectual history of the eighteenth century.- CerclesTable of ContentsGuide to this editionAbbreviationsIntroductionCircumstances of writingCharacter of the text‘France’: a contextFrom Belles-Lettres to littératureThe rise of the authorReligions of the mindTextual apparatusEssai sur l’étude de la littérature To Edward Gibbon Avis au lecteur A l’auteur Essai sur l’étude de la littérature Textual commentaryBibliographyIndex

LUP - Voltaire Foundation Les Lettres sur la sympathie 1798 de Sophie
Book SynopsisDepuis David Hume et Adam Smith, la notion de sympathie valorise l’activité irréfléchie de la sensibilité pour mieux associer l’affectivité à la formation du lien social.Trade Review[…] one of the strengths of the book is its uncommon presentation of an annotated modern edition alongside associated scholarship, a combination which, in the opinion of this reader, should appear more frequently in contemporary scholarly publishing. Thus, the essays following De Grouchy’s text in fact make the book accessible to those in areas other than philosophy, such as both French and English eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature and history, translation studies, cultural studies, and women’s studies.- French Review, 85:4Table of ContentsMarc André Bernier, Présentation: les métamorphoses de la sympathie au siècle des LumièresI Les Lettres sur la sympathie de Sophie de GrouchyPrincipes d’éditionAnnotation du texteAvertissement sur les ouvrages de SmithLettres à C***, sur la théorie des sentiments moraux.
