Progress on document collection
Posted by ccarlin on 15 Oct 2009 in Academic
At the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal I was able, with a librarian's help, to order the missing part of the "Agréments et chagrins du mariage". We have parts 1, 2, 5 and 6 in hand; I have ordered parts 3, 4, 7 and 8. Now that they are being sent by email, we should have them at the end of November or beginning of December.
There will be about 800 pages to mark up, so lots of work for Lauren and Leanna into next term if they wish. I see this text as an excellent chronological end point for the current phase of the project, as it was published between 1692 and 1697 and takes up most of the themes treated in the earlier polemical literature. Quite different from the "petits romans"...
