Information About

Louis-antoine Caraccioli





  • -- à ses enfants'' ( 1769 ) (trans. ''Advice from a Lady of Quality to her Children, in the Last Stage of a Lingering Illness, In a Series of Evening-Conferences on the Most Interesting Subjects'') was written in a series of "conferences" or meetings, which substitute for chapters or the more common use of letters. Unlike most courtesy books, Caraccioli's has the semblance of a plot and reads somewhat like a novel, which ends with the death of the main character. Caraccioli's work evolved a great deal over the half-century in which it was produced, and gradually reflected many modern values. Today many of his books are collected by various libraries throughout Europe and America , especially the Bibliothèque Nationale De France and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at UCLA .
