Publisher's Synopsis
Sociability practices influence life narratives: legal and judicial sources, autobiographical texts by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly and George Sand, the correspondances of Denis Diderot, Gustave Flaubert, Gabriel de Mirabeau, and Madame Palatine, as well as memoirs written by Casanova and Mme de Remusat all testify to this interrelatedness.
