Yet her multivolume novels were popular bestsellers in her time, translated almost immediately into English, German, Italian, Spanish, and even Arabic. The Story of Sapho makes available for the first time in modern English a self-contained section from Scudéry's novel Artamène ou le Grand Cyrus, best known today as the favored reading material of the would-be salonnières that Molière satirized in Les précieuses ridicules. The Story tells of Sapho, a woman writer modeled on the Greek Sappho, who deems marriage slavery. Interspersed in the love story of Sapho and Phaon are a series of conversations like those that took place in Scudéry's own salon in which Sapho and her circle discuss the nature of love, the education of women, writing, and right conduct. This edition also includes a translation of an oration, or harangue, of Scudéry's in which Sapho extols the talents and abilities of women in order to persuade them to write. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aFrench literature$y17th century$vTranslations into English 606 $aWomen$zFrance$xSocial conditions$y17th century$vFiction 615 0$aFrench literature 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 676 $a843/.7 700 $aScudery$b Madeleine de$f1607-1701.$00 701 $aNewman$b Karen$f1949-$01608233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809515503321 996 $aThe story of Sapho$94098788 997 $aUNINA
