French readers

Several categories of French “receivers” will be presented here: male and female, groups and individuals. Up to now, French reception has been studied only – in the context of this project – in relation to particular authors: Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni, Jeanne Leprince de Beaumont and George Sand. A global impression of the current database content in French reception is given here.
Online articles will follow, which will concern:

Female readers

• Françoise de Graffigny (1695-1758)
  
  

Male readers

• Literary critics interpreting Riccoboni and Juliette Catesby's refusals;
  
• Bastide rewriting the platonic couple of Riccoboni's Ernestine and Clémengis;
  
• Critics about Graffigny;
  
• Novelists responding;
  
• L'abbé Joseph de La Porte.
