    Le cadre épistolaire des articles de critique littéraire de Madame d'Épinay.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Llorca Tonda, María Ángeles
    The aim of this paper is to analyse the literary criticism that Madame d’Épinay consecrates to the Correspondance littéraire of Grimm and Meister. The epistolary framework in which the critical articles studied are presented deserves particular attention, since it allows us, on the one hand, to establish the different functions developed by Louise d’Épinay in the circle of Grimm’s collaborators, and, on the other hand, to highlight the dialogic structure that will dominate the literary style of Madame d’Épinay

    Le roman epistolaire français au siecle des Lumieres.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Messina, Luisa
    The eighteenth century is considered as the golden age of epistolary art. If we analyze the historical and social value of letters, we will notice that epistolary change soon becomes one of the principal ways of communication and of providing information. The most relevant merit, which is attributed to the epistolary novel, is the immediate reproduction that touches feelings. So, the epistolary novel removes the temporal distance existing between the personal history and its written reproduction. The most famous writers of the time (like Montesquieu) and libertine writers (Laclos and Sade particularly) have employed the epistolary novel showing several intentions.

    Marivaux contra la tiranía: la utopía igualitaria de "L'île des esclaves"
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2019) Ibeas Altamira, Juan Manuel
    Abstract: In this article we propose the study of Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux’s “L’île des esclaves” (1725). This French novelist and dramatist wrote numerous comedies analyzing the stages of love and the fragility of feelings and amorous desire; but a further study shows a “revolutionary” ideology. In this retro-chro - notope Marivaux attacks slavery and invites us to consider the ethics of our choices and ac - tions. If today slavery is one of the things that everyone agrees is unethical, in the eighteenth century this trade made up about de half of Eu - rope’s income, and Marivaux’s arguments were not so easy to accept.

    Noticias de artísticas de la ciudad de Murcia bajo el prisma de un ilustrado: correspondencia entre Diego Antonio Rejón de Silva y José Vargas Ponce.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021) Jaquero Esparcia, Alejandro
    El artículo propone mostrar el interés generado desde la óptica ilustrada por los elementos artísticos y monumentales mediante las redes epistolares de dos ilustrados que contribuyeron al asentamiento de las Bellas Artes en España, por medio de sus diversas aportaciones teóricas, y también, por su interés en conocer y valorar el arte español. En concreto, exponemos un ejemplo del intercambio intelectual mantenido por Diego Antonio Rejón de Silva y José Vargas Ponce. A través de una de las cartas fruto de la relación entre ambas personalidades se arroja más luz sobre los intereses de Vargas Ponce en la ciudad de Murcia y en su legado artístico.
