One of the most striking developments of the eighteenth century in France is the emergence of the epistolary form as a dominant vehicle for cultural and literary expression. Almost any kind of narrative can be found in letter form during the Enlightenment; by the century''s second half, the letter has become an all-purpose literary omnibus and serves, moreover, as the basic structural component of many of the period''s most widely-read novels. This work explores the implications of the letter''s popularity in terms of the eighteenth century''s intellectual climate, and concludes that the epistolary form is particularly well-suited to an expression of the Enlightenment''s ideological concerns.
