Dalton shows how Lespinasse, Roland, Renier Michiel, and Mosconi grappled with differences of ideology, social status, and community, often through networks that mixed personal and professional relations, thus calling into question the actual separation between public and private spheres. Building on the work of Dena Goodman and Daniel Gordon, Dalton shows how a variety of conflicts were expressed in everyday life and sheds new light on Venice as an important eighteenth-century cultural centre.French lettersWomen authorsHistory and criticismItalian lettersWomen authorsHistory and criticismFrench prose literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismItalian prose literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismUpper class womenFranceCorrespondenceUpper class womenItalyVeniceCorrespondenceUpper class womenFranceIntellectual lifeUpper class womenItalyVeniceIntellectual lifeUpper class womenFrancePolitical activityHistory18th centuryUpper class womenItalyVenicePolitical activityHistory18th centuryEcrits de femmesHistoire et critiqueLettres (Genre litteraire) francaisesLettres (Genre litteraire) italiennesFemmes de la classe superieureFranceCorrespondanceFemmes de la classe superieureItalieVeniseCorrespondanceFemmes de la classe superieureFranceVie intellectuelleFemmes de la classe superieureItalieVeniseVie intellectuelleFemmes de la classe superieureFranceActivite politiqueHistoire18e siecleFemmes de la classe superieureItalieVeniseActivite politiqueHistoire18e siecleFrench lettersWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Italian lettersWomen authorsHistory and criticism.French prose literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Italian prose literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Upper class womenUpper class womenUpper class womenIntellectual life.Upper class womenIntellectual life.Upper class womenPolitical activityHistoryUpper class womenPolitical activityHistoryEcrits de femmesHistoire et critique.Lettres (Genre litteraire) francaises.Lettres (Genre litteraire) italiennes.Femmes de la classe superieureFemmes de la classe superieureFemmes de la classe superieureVie intellectuelle.Femmes de la classe superieureVie intellectuelle.Femmes de la classe superieureActivite politiqueHistoireFemmes de la classe superieureActivite politiqueHistoire846/.5099287Dalton Susan1968-1655929MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824540803321Engendering the republic of letters4008528UNINA
