Techniques narratives dans le roman épistolaire Les Liaisons dangereuses de Laclos.

The article analyzes the narrative techniques of one of the most famous epistolary novel of the 18th century, Les liaisons dangereuses de Laclos. The novelty of the novel is highlighted by the plurality of narrative voices, by the different points of view of the author, but also by the characters who relate at their turn the action in the novel. We also analyze the relationship between author-character-reader and the possible permutations of these roles. Last but not least, we value the enrollment of this novel in the wider current of libertinage, so specific to the 18th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
