Marie Jeanne Riccoboni’s Epistolary Feminism

In this book, Marijn S. Kaplan juxtaposes Riccoboni’s epistolary fiction with some of her relatively unknown letters to her publisher, editors, Diderot, Laclos etc. (included, with translations), tracing related proto-feminist strategies in both to her first novel Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd (1757).
