In a cultural shift around the mid-point of the French eighteenth century, the mode of wit is increasingly displaced by bourgeois pathos. Social sophistication and sexual experience are rejected in favour of a retreat into ideal imagination. Instead of the novel of worldliness, we encounter fictions of better worlds: original, natural, familial, innocent and harmonious, protected against reality and time. The regressive shift is traced in this study in general terms, and then through detailed analysis of three of the best-selling novels of the period. The turning-point is represented by Mme de Graffignys Lettres dune Peruvienne (1747, 1752) with its profound ambivalence towards knowledge. A new order is revealed and set out, but still declared lacking, in Rousseaus Julie, ou la Nouvelle Heloise (1761). The visionary return to the organic wholeness of nature is offered by Bernardins Paul et Virginie (1788).

Exposition organisee par l'Etat jusqu'en 1881, grande fete annuelle ou bisannuelle de l'art, le Salon de peinture et de sculpture domine la vie artistique a Paris tout au long du dix-neuvieme siecle. Dans l'historiographie de la modernite artistique, cependant, le role de ce " Salon a quoi tout se ramene " (comme le disait Tabarant dans La Vie artistique au temps de Baudelaire) a trop souvent ete reduit a celui du terrain de bataille ou se sont confrontees " tradition academique " et " nouveaute revolutionnaire ". Les sept etudes que contient ce volume ont donc pour but de restituer au Salon sa veritable dimension historique en analysant des elements essentiels de son organisation, son fonctionnement et sa finalite, dont: son emplacement (au Louvre jusqu'en 1848), ses artistes, ses visiteurs, sa rhetorique et son systeme de recompenses, pour terminer sur les raisons et les consequences de son abandon par l'Etat.
