In response to damaging representations of their kind in Zola and Alexandre Dumas' novels, CeÌleste de Chabrillan, Valtesse de la Bigne, and Liane de Pougy crafted fictions recounting their triumphs as celebrities of the demi-monde and their outcries against the social injustices that pushed them into prostitution. Although their works enjoyed huge success in the second half of the nineteenth century, male writers penned faux-memoirs mocking courtesan novels, and successfully sowed doubt about their authorship in a backlash against the profitable notoriety the novels earned these courtesans. Colette, who did not write from personal experience but rather out of sympathy for the courtesans with whom she socialized, innovated the genre when she wrote three novels exploring the demi-mondaine’s life beyond prostitution and youth."--Cover. 650 0 $a Courtesans $z France $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115113 650 0 $a French fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103562 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013710.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=844EE3F2F76611E7BF59292497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
