Tender Geographies: Women and the Origins of the Novel in France
DeJean, Joan (University of Pennsylvania)
This treatise argues that women writers were the originators of the modern novel in France. It uses the novels of Scudery and Lafayette to illustrate how such works undermined French tradition by suggesting that women had a right to choose their husbands and to lead independent lives.
