- Description
- Argues that the novel has a far-reaching international history, evident in early eighteenth-century works translated and published in Amsterdam and Leipzig such as "Les Mémoires de Madame la Marquise de Frêne," which shows not only proof of novel-writing/publishing in eighteenth-century Amsterdam and Leipzig, but also the influence of the East upon the European novel. The importance of the Oriental frame tale in Western narratives can be seen as early as CT.
