Reading economic behavior and social identity in Le roman bourgeois and La princesse de Cleves -- Opposition and the poetics of noble idealism in Manon Lescaut -- Gift and escrow economies in Lettres d'une Peruvienne and La nouvelle Heloise -- Les infortunes de la vertu: homo sadicus and the invisible hand of the network -- Conclusion.The Other Rise of the Novel relies on new research concerning the relevance of bourgeois values and ideals in the early modern period in France to question the extent to which characters in works of fiction portray the rise of individualistic and self-interested behavior. It argues that novels like Manon Lescaut, Lettres d'une Péruvienne, and La Nouvelle Héloïse produce their own alternative economies, different articulations of how individuals should define their relations to others.French fiction18th centuryHistory and criticismSocial classes in literatureMiddle class in literatureLiterature and societyFranceHistory18th centuryFrench fictionHistory and criticism.Social classes in literature.Middle class in literature.Literature and societyHistory843.5Delers Olivier1977-1505025MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797372203321The other rise of the novel in eighteenth-century French fiction3734404UNINA
