  • Women and Irony in Molière's Comedies of Marriage

    par Prof John D. Lyons ...
    This is a book about how Molière, France's most celebrated author of comedies, made something strikingly new out of the traditional comedy plot of thwarted courtship.

Seventeenth-century France was a time when speaking well became exceptionally ... En savoir plus

  • The Amorous Restoration

    Love, Sex, and Politics in Early Nineteenth-Century France

    par Andrew J. Counter ...
    When Louis XVIII returned to the throne in 1814, and again in 1815, France embarked upon a period of uneasy cohabitation between the old and the new. The writers of the age, who included Chateaubriand, Stendhal, Balzac, and Mme de Duras, agreed that they lived at a historical turning point, a transitional moment whose outcome, though still uncertain, would transform the French way of life- ...
