Marie de Gournay ou l'occultation d'une figure auctoriale

Beginning with the recognition that the records and biographical dictionaries of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries devote greater attention to the personal aspects of Marie de Gournay (1565–1645) than to her literary production, which was nonetheless substantial, this study considers the forms of, and reasons for, such an obscuring of her authorial standing. Among the probable explanations, what stands out is the less than enthusiastic reception reserved by the seventeenth century for the intellectual ambitions evident in that “women's writing” with which Gournay seems to have established so close a connection as finally to transform her work into a textual alter ego of the author
