Books by Craig Moyes

This book, focusing on the nature of representation and exchange in the seventeenth century, shows how, within the disarticulated narrative of the Roman bourgeois, Antoine Furetiere was placed to explore a changing literary economy marked by the trial of Nicolas Fouquet.

If Furetiere (1619-1688) hadn't been friends with Racine and Boileau, if he hadn't been famous for his Dictionary and for his battle with the Academie Francaise, it is unlikely that we would still be speaking of the Roman bourgeois (1666). Its qualities are decidedly few.
