Reviews

The Evolution of the French Courtesan Novel makes an important contribution to feminist approaches to French literature. Not only does Sullivan's study postulate a new category, but it makes a convincing case for the construction of a discourse that counters, in a way that was apparently threatening to male writers, the hegemonic male discourse surrounding fictions of the sex worker. (Carol Mossman, H-France Review, Vol. 17 (40), August, 2017)
