Résumé

This thesis studies the correspondence of a famous author in the 18th century, principally from the point of view of the art of writing letters. It analyses the letter-writer's processes and inventions, their evolution during her life, the varying informations that the expression-study bring us about feelings, reactions and purposes of mrs Riccoboni. The drawing of a parallel with the fictitious letters of the novels tries to bring out what puts together and parts the art of writing letters in a novel and the same art in true life, and shows how mrs Riccoboni makes use of the romantic material in her private correspondence. So, the aim of this thesis is the completion of our understanding about a woman of letters, a very well-known in the 18th century, as well as a contribution to a better analysis of the art of writing letters in an age where it specially shines.
