# Talk:Letters Written in France

I don't anticipate writing these sections any time soon, but if anyone should grow interested in this article, I think it is most in need of a "major themes" section with sub-sections for "feminine sensibility" (1 2 3) and "participatory spectacle" (1 2). Possibly one on cosmopolitanism too. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 20:43, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, good idea. Could you perhaps have a few projects here? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi @LEvalyn, shouldn't the article cover these themes before its current nomination for Good Article status? czar 13:44, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Hm, I think I crossed them off my mental checklist because I decided spectacle and sympathy already said everything they needed to say in style and reception. And I remember deciding against cosmopolitanism because the articles on that topic annoyed me with being variations of “cosmopolitanism, Our Current Fad, is also in 'Letters Written in France', and therefore the study of Romanticism should continue.” I was kind of cranky with the field at the time so I might see more if I revisited that thread now. Since spectacle was a similar kind of fad— it felt to me like everyone just took at a look at what book they were holding, shouted out whether it has “spectacle” in it, and never mentioned it again— crankiness could have made me miss something there too. I’ll take another look with fresh eyes. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 16:28, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
I've revisited the sources linked above, which added some detail to style and reception. I'm especially glad this prompted me to look at a piece by Louise Duckling-- as she so often does, she very helpfully spelled out the post-18thC (lack of) reception. But the "spectacle" articles just annoyed me again without having anything I felt I could distill into an article section. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:33, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
