Ann Lewis

• Sensibility, Reading and Illustration: Spectacles and Signs in Graffigny, Marivaux and Rousseau

Thoroughly researched, clearly written, and handsomely produced, this book is a significant contribution to scholarship on French eighteenth-century literature.[...]Readers should be glad that Lewis has so adeptly read the signs and spectacles presented within these novels, that she has so carefully studied their reception, and that she has shared their own responses with us.' -- French Review French Review
