One of the earliest women to write for a living, she defied cultural convention by becoming an innovator and appealing to popular tastes through fiction, drama, and poetry. Memoirs of the Life of Henriette-Sylvie de Molière, a semi autobiographical novel, portrays an enterprising woman who writes the story of her life, a complex tale that runs counter to social expectations and novelistic conventions. A striking work, the story skillfully mixes real events from the author's life with fictional adventures. At a time when few women published, Villedieu's Memoirs is a significant achievement in creating a voice for the early modern woman writer. Produced while the French novel form was still in its infancy, it should be welcomed by any scholar of women's writing or the early development of the novel. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aFrench literature$y17th century$vTranslations into English 615 0$aFrench literature 676 $a843/.4 700 $aVilledieu$cMadame de,$f-1683.$01872521 701 $aKuizenga$b Donna$01188038 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956161803321 996 $aMemoirs of the life of Henriette-Sylvie de Moliere$94481709 997 $aUNINA
