| Description | Countess Fanny de Beauharnais (1737–1813) was among the first to distinguish herself as both a socialite and a prolific author. She did not see her writing practice as a pastime, but as a significant part of her social identity, which influenced her vision of women’s role in high society and the stakes associated with attendance at her salon. To understand the specificity of that position, the author analyzes the relationships between the countess and a group of poètes légers (light poets), headed by Claude-Joseph Dorat (1734–1780), who frequented her salon from about 1770 to 1780. De Beauharnais’s circle operated on symbolic trade: in return for the countess’s support, the school of Dorat helped construct her image as author. |
