Suite libertine. Vies du XVIIIe siècle
Turning to the libertine novels of the 18th century, this study provides an alternative history of French libertinage: spirited courtesans, noisy petits-maîtres, demystified rakes. These characters present another sexuality for the Enlightenment, away from the famous war of the sexes.
