Textual promiscuities
eighteenth-century critical rewriting
by Antoinette Marie Sol
"This study examines the relationship between Pierre-Ambroise Francois Choderlos de Laclos's novel Les Liaisons dangereuses and women's writing. As the first major analysis of Laclos's reading of women's works, it offers a fresh intepretation of key eighteenth-century text and opens up onto the larger field of investigation into critical rewriting practices of the period.".
"Drawing on correspondence, novels, literary criticism, and other documents by Riccoboni, Laclos, and Burney, Antoinette Sol demonstrates how these novelists, traditionally separated by nationality, gender, and genre, are in fact concerned with similar issues of individual authority and social criticism. She shows how arbitrary literary categorization of these writers as sentimental or libertine has kept their work from a reading which reveals their commonalities."--BOOK JACKET.
