« Madame a fait un livre » : Madame de Graffigny, Palissot et Les Philosophes

English Showalter : « Madame has written a book » : Madame de Graffigny, Palissot and Les Philosophes. This article provides new information, drawn from Mme de Graffigny's correspondent, about Palissot's early career, from 1750 to 1755, showing his frequent presence at Mme de Graffigny's salon, his use of her patronage and advice, and finally his exclusion from her salon because she considered him dangerous company. The case is then made that Mme de Graffigny may be the model for Cydalise, the ridiculous hostess in Palissot's satirical play Les Philosophes. Her age, accomplishments and situation fit Cydalise better than those of any other proposed model. Many specific comments about Mme de Graffigny made by Palissot in other contexts are repeated in the play about Cydalise.English Showalter : « Madame a fait un livre » : Madame de Graffigny, Palissot et Les Philosophes. Cet article fournit des renseignements nouveaux, tirés de la correspondance de Mme de Graffigny, relatifs au début de la carrière de Palissot, entre 1750 et 1755. On y voit sa présence régulière dans le salon de Mme de Graffigny, son emploi des conseils et de la protection de son hôtesse, et enfin son exclusion de chez elle parce qu'elle le considérait comme une compagnie dangereuse. L'article montre ensuite que Mme de Graffigny pourrait bien être le modèle de Cydalise, hôtesse de salon ridicule dans la pièce satirique de Palissot, Les Philosophes. L'âge de Mme de Graffigny, ses activités antérieures et sa situation conviennent mieux que ceux d'aucun autre modèle à Cydalise. Beaucoup de remarques précises sur Mme de Graffigny, faites par Palissot dans d'autres contextes, se trouvent répétées dans la pièce à propos de Cydalise.Showalter English. « Madame a fait un livre » : Madame de Graffigny, Palissot et Les Philosophes.

Françoise de Graffigny

The story of Françoise de Graffigny’s life reads like a novel. Following a disastrous marriage, she was forced by political upheavals to leave her native Lorraine and move to Paris, where she struggled to survive against poverty and persecution. Here she made her way into the heart of literary society in the heyday of the Enlightenment, wrote a novel – the Lettres d’une Péruvienne (1747) – that made her an international celebrity, wrote a play – Cénie (1750) – that ranked among the ten most successful new plays of the century, and became a noted salon hostess. Yet fifty years after her death she was almost forgotten, and has been rediscovered only in the last few decades. Now her novel is widely read once more, and studied as a masterpiece. At the same time, a vast collection of her letters and papers emerged, and scholars have used the ongoing edition of her Correspondance to shed important light on a long list of noted figures, such as Choiseul, Crébillon fils, Duclos, Helvétius, Palissot, Prévost, Rousseau, and Voltaire. This biography draws on those letters, including the hundreds not yet published, and on the editorial team’s highly praised research, to provide the first biography in ninety years of this phenomenal woman. It provides new material on all aspects of her life, from her intimate feelings to the composition and publication of her literary works. It is by far the most complete and accurate account of Mme de Graffigny’s life and times. List of illustrations Acknowledgements List of abbreviations Introduction 1. A childhood in Lorraine 2.
