"Through the Reading Glass explores the practices and protocols
that surrounded women's reading in eighteenth-century France.
Looking at texts as various as fairy tales, memoirs, historical
romances, short stories, love letters, novels, and the pages of the
new female periodical press. Suellen Diaconoff shows how a reading
culture, one in which books, sex, and acts of reading were richly
and evocatively intertwined, was constructed for and by women.
Diaconoff proposes that the underlying discourse of virture found
in womens's work was both an empowering strategy, intended to
create new kinds of responsible and not merely responsive readers,
and an integral part of the conviction that domestic reading does
not have to be trivial.
