Through Strangers' Eyes: Fictional Foreigners in Old Regime France - Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures
Sylvie Romanowski
In the eighteenth century, a type of novel flourished, showing outsiders who come to Europe. After studying the origin of the genre in Montaigne's essay ""Des Cannibales"", this book analyzes Montesquieu's ""Lettres persanes"", Francoise de Graffigny's ""Lettres d'une Peruvienne"", Voltaire's ""L'Ingenu"", and Claire de Duras's ""Ourika"".
