ISBN: 0815331908 ISBN-13: 9780815331902 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $190.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: November 1999 Annotation: The present volume covers 30 Pre-Revolutionary French women, providing a representative sampling of their manifold and varied contributions to intellectual and cultural history. This volume is unique in its grouping of essentially French writers from the Pre-Revolutionary period. The authors included here range from those prominent because of their social position or literary fame, to those slowly becoming part of a new canon of Old Regime women writers - authors whose works were known to their contemporaries but who have slipped into near invisibility in the following centuries until their recent rediscovery and reassessment. |
