description: This volumes studies the central place of the eighteenth-century women's novel in the development of the genre through an examination of the cross-cultural and cross-gender movement of ideas in the rewriting and reworking of texts by English and French novelists. Using Laclos's celebrated novel, Les Liaisons dangereuses, as a focal point, the study aims to integrate important women writers of the eighteenth century, Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni and Frances Burney, into the gender-limited critical studies of the French novel.
