Rococo Fiction in France, 1600 - 1715: Seditious Frivolity

By Allison Stedman

Author Allison Stedman makes a case for the rococo as a seventeenth-century literary phenomenon that provided an ideological counterpoint to the rise of French political absolutism. Stedman traces the rococo's evolution and the study unearths the rococo's counter-vision for the origins of the French Enlightenment.
