Description

Explore the evolution of female authorship in this scholarly study by Elizabeth Goldsmith. This book examines how French women in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries transitioned from private conversation to published print. It provides a deep look into the motivations behind why these women chose to write about their own lives and the specific subjects they selected for their narratives. Readers will learn about the methods used to circulate and print these personal stories during the early modern period. The text also addresses the social challenges faced by these authors, including how they defended their personal reputation and credibility when sharing their private lives with a public audience.
