Rezensionen

"This thoughtful and intriguing work invites readers to re-examine Riccoboni's epistolary novels in a new way, and to reconsider the role of her proto-feminism in her fiction as well as in her correspondence. The study provides a new and informative understanding of Riccoboni's works for anyone studying or teaching her works." Jeanne Hageman (North Dakota State University) The French Review 95.1
