Fougeret de Monbron, 'Margot la ravaudeuse'
Author: Fougeret de Monbron
Publisher: MHRA
ISBN: 1781881898
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Fougeret de Monbron (1706–1760) was a minor French writer known in Parisian literary circles in the 1740s and 1750s for his spoof of Voltaire’s Henriade, entitled La Henriade travestie (1745). He is generally considered the model for ‘LUI’ in Diderot’s fragmented novel the Neveu de Rameau, written some time after 1761. In addition to this, his travel memoirs, Le Cosmopolite (1750), are a recognized source of Voltaire’s Candide (1759). Today, Monbron’s novel on prostitution Margot la ravaudeuse (1753) (or Margot, the stocking darner) is his best known work. Widely read in France (where it has appeared in four separate editions since 1990), and moreover translated since the eighteenth century into other European languages, Margot has never been adequately made available to English-speaking readers. Professor Langille’s new translation brings Margot la ravaudeuse for the first time to students of eighteenth-century literature, and most especially to those interested in that intriguing sub-genre known as ‘prostitution narrative’.

Waiting for Pushkin
Author: Alessandra Tosi
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042018291
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
Waiting for Pushkin provides the only modern history of Russian fiction in the early nineteenth century to appear in over thirty years. Prose fiction has a more prominent position in the literature of Russia than in that of any other great country. Although nineteenth-century fiction in particular occupies a privileged place in Russian and world literature alike, the early stages of this development have so far been overlooked. By combining a broad historical survey with close textual analysis the book provides a unique overview of a key phase in Russian literary history. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including rare editions and literary journals, Alessandra Tosi reconstructs the literary activities occurring at the time, introduces neglected but fascinating narratives, many of which have never been studied before and demonstrates the long-term influence of this body of works on the ensuing "golden age" of the Russian novel. Waiting for Pushkin provides an indispensable source for scholars and students of nineteenth-century Russian fiction. The volume is also relevant to those interested in women's writing, comparative studies and Russian literature in general.

Fictions of Pleasure
Author: Alistaire Tallent
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1644533251
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Out of the libertine literary tradition of eighteenth-century France emerged over a dozen memoir novels of female libertines who eagerly take up sex work as a means of escape from the patriarchal control of fathers and husbands to pursue pleasure, wealth, and personal independence outside the private, domestic sphere. In these anonymously published novels, the heroines proudly declare themselves prostitutes, or putains, and use the desire they arouse, the professional skills they develop, and the network of female friends they create to exploit, humiliate, and financially ruin wealthy and powerful men. In pursuing their desires, the putains challenge contemporary notions of womanhood and expose the injustices of ancien-régime France. Until the French Revolution spelled the end of the genre, these novels proposed not only an appealing libertine utopia in which libertine women enjoy the same benefits as their male counterparts but also entirely new ways of looking at systems of power, gender, and sexuality.
