Did these women retain agency through their work? Essays identify underlying, recurrent themes including networking and community, which underpin the book's chapters and subsections, many of which have striking echoes in the modern world. While in dialogue with recent work in this field, the specific moments, memoirs, and narratives selected for inclusion in this book are surprising and engaging. Essays comprise original studies, which will contribute fresh perspectives to current scholarship on the history, social history, culture, art history, and literature of the eighteenth-century Francosphere.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSíofra Pierse \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of French and Francophone Studies at the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, University College Dublin, Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucille Raynal \u003c\/b\u003eis an eighteenth-century French scholar, recent Teaching Fellow and former PhD student at University College Dublin, Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798216489016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669874835596,"sku":"9798216489016","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9798216489016","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
