Colette
Though Colette's novels have been thought sentimental and she herself has earned a certain notoriety as a decadent sensualist, Nicole Ward Jouve argues that we need to look closely at Colette's work again, and with the hindsight of feminist theory, to rediscover that inimitable talent for the inscription of sensual and familial pleasure.

Colette
L'œuvre de Colette semble une transparente autobiographie. L'écrivain se met en scène aussi bien dans les textes de souvenirs d'enfance (La Maison de Claudine, Sido) ou de maturité (Mes apprentissages, Le Fanal bleu, L'Etoile Vesper), que dans les romans (La Naissance du jour, Bella-vista, Chambre d'hôtel...) - sans parler des transpositions (Claudine à l'école, La Vagabonde, Chéri, La Seconde...).
