The Rhetoric of the Epistle in Laclos' "The Dangerous Liaisons"

Summary/Abstract: The present paper proposes itself to outline the discursive strategies that enabled the French author, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos to create one of the most remarkable epistolary novels of the 18th century, "Les Liaisons dangereuses" ("The Dangerous Liaisons", 1782). On the whole, the focus of the paper is to foreground the rhetoric of the letter, which in Laclos'case is subtly intended to underscore a manipulative rhetoric of both libertinism and seduction.
