The Early French Novel and the Circum-Atlantic
This chapter provides an overview of the French circum-Atlantic novel, as written primarily by metropolitan whites, between 1697 and 1807—the period in which both the French novel and French slavery evolved. The chapter links canonical novels, such as Prevost's Manon Lescaut and Voltaire's Candide , to the major themes and narrative mapping of less well-known colonial fictions by Alexandre-Olivier Oexmelin, Jean-François de Saint-Lambert, Germain…
Heroines and Local Girls: The Transnational Emergence of Women's Writing in the Long Eighteenth Century
Over the course of the long eighteenth century, a network of some fifty women writers, working in French, English, Dutch, and German, staked out a lasting position in the European literary field. These writers were multilingual and lived for many years outside of their countries of origin, translated and borrowed from each others' works, attended literary circles and salons, and fashioned a transnational women's literature characterized by highly…

Trading Places: Colonization and Slavery in Eighteenth-Century French Culture, by Madeleine Dobie
Madeleine Dobie is not the first scholar to identify France’s role in the slave trade and its establishment of colonial slavery in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean as a lieu d’oubli—or site of national historical forgetting. Yet in this book Dobie is the first to provide a comprehensive explanation of how this site of national forgetting was generated and represented in eighteenth-century French philosophical, literary and material culture. That, o…

Sexual Antipodes: Enlightenment Globalization and the Placing of Sex
Sexual Antipodes is about how Enlightenment print culture built modern national and racial identity out of images of sexual order and disorder in public life. It examines British and French popular journalism, utopian fiction and travel accounts about South Sea encounter, pamphlet literature, and pornography, as well as more traditional literary sources on the eighteenth century, such as the novel and philosophical essays and tales. The title ref…
"Prostitutes of "Political Institution
One of the stories making the rounds in France during the second half of the eighteenth century was that Louis XV's mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour, hit on a terrific plan for alleviating a fit of royal boredom. The rumor had it that the Marquise suggested police inspectors collect records of debauchery for the king's amusement. In 1747, when Madame de Pompadour's protege, Nicolas Rene Berryer, became General Inspector, the police did undergo…
