[Letters] have souls; they can speak; they have in them all that force which expresses the transports of the heart; they have all the fire of our passions, they can raise them as much as if the persons themselves were present; they have all the tenderness and delicacy of speech, and sometimes even a boldness of expression beyond it.

Women writers in Napoleonic France:

“In the archives of the Napoleonic Ministry of the Interior we discover that Félicité de Choiseul-Meuse, was dependent on official patronage for her survival. Remembered today as the author of the infamously pornographic pastiche of Rousseau’s Nouvelle Heloïse, titled, Julie, ou j'ai sauvée ma Rose (1807), among many other works, Choiseul-Meuse clearly found an audience for her literary productions, not only in the market-place, but in the corridors of power as well.”

“There is also considerable evidence of the sustained inclusion and recognition of women of letters by the major literary and scientific academies—for example, Louise de Kéralio (history), Pauline Guizot (moral theory), Fanny de Beauharnais (novels), Charlotte de Bournon, Countess of Malarme (novels), Claudine Guyton de Moreau (natural sciences), Anne Marie de Montgergoult de Coutances, Countess de Beaufort d'Hautpol (poetry), and Sophie Bacquié (poetry). After years of patronage from the Napoleonic regime, in 1815, Mme Dufrénoy became the poet laureate of the Française Académie, its highest literary honor.”

“In 1804 Fortunée Briquet, with whom I began, compiled a Dictionnaire historique, littéraire et bibliographique des françaises et des étrangères naturalisées en France. In her dedication of the work to the First Consul, Napoleon Bonaparte, Briquet reflected on the tumultuous fifteen years since the Old Regime had fallen. She exulted that ‘No other century has begun with such a great number of women of letters.’ To prove it, her Dictionnaire offered the literary records of 583 women from the age of Clovis to the present, culled from a very impressive range of bibliographic sources.”

Tomb Of Abelard and Heloïse

[grottweiler]

He's not short, he's fun-sized!

My laptop died the other day, so I'll be using pen and paper until I can get it fixed.

Special thanks to @eldstunga for letting me use their lovely fox girl Heloïse.

Another lil' gift for my friend @wereleel, with Heloïse as a guest star. A little risque, but we'll see if it flies. I don't really want actual smut on my main and posting crops is annoying, so maybe I should just revive my old sideblog.

Love never yet was held by arms alone, nor its mysterious ministries constrained to forms or qualities. Like water sweet in barren land it lies within our lives, ever by its unsolved formula awakening us to fuller freedom.
