French philosophical and scientific writers of the early modern
period made various use of forms of narrative language that aims to
tell a story in their texts. Equally, authors of fiction often
sought to appropriate the language and tools of philosophical and
scientific investigation. The contributions in this collection,
from some of the most distinguished and exciting scholars working
in French Studies today, aim to bring into question oppositional
relationships between terms such as 'philosophy' and 'fiction' when
these are applied to early modern texts. They consider authors as
diverse as Montaigne, Descartes, La Rochefoucauld, Mme de Villedieu
and Mme de Lafayette. If we are to be true to the early modern
period, they argue, we have to acknowledge it as a time when the
figurative, anecdotal and fictive on the one hand, and the
truth-seeking on the other, influence each other mutually. Emma
Gilby is University Lecturer in French, University of Cambridge.
Paul White is Research Associate in French, University of
Cambridge.
