Introduction
Welcome to this second salon and its beautiful 18th century setting!
Colas Duflo will be hosting this event with the help of other guests to discuss the rise of the novel in the 18th century. The novel is at first subjected to a certain aesthetic contempt, and a certain distrust of the authorities as to its influence on morality. It gradually meets the expectations of a whole new audience and becomes the predominant format that we know today.
