See also:RICCOBONI, See also:MARIE JEANNE (1714-1792) , whose See also:maiden name was Laboras de See also:Mezieres, was See also:born at See also:Paris in 1714. She married in 1735 See also:Antoine See also:Francois Riccoboni, a comedian and dramatist, from whom she soon separated. She herself was an actress,. but did not succeed on the See also:stage. Her See also:works are Lettres de See also:mistress Fanny See also:- BUTLER

Butler (1757); the remarkable Histoire du See also:marquis de See also:Cressy (1758); Milady Juliette See also:Catesby (1759-1760), like her other books, in See also:letter See also:form; Ernestine (1798), which La Harpe thought her masterpiece; and three See also:series of Lettres in the names of See also:Adelaide de See also:Dammartin (comtesse de See also:Sancerre) (2 vols., 1766), See also:Elizabeth Sophie de Valliere (2 vols., 1772), and Milord See also:Rivers (2 vols., 1776). She obtained a small See also:pension from the See also:crown, but the Revolution deprived her of it, and she died on the 6th of See also:December 1792 in greatindigence. Besides the works named, she wrote a novel (1762) on the subject of See also:Fielding's Amelia, and supplied in 1765 a continuation (but not the conclusion sometimes erroneously ascribed to her) of See also:Marivaux's unfinished Marianne.
All Madame Riccoboni's See also:work is See also:clever, and there is real pathos in it. But it is among the most eminent examples of the "sensibility " novel, of which no examples but See also:Sterne's have kept their See also:place in See also:England, and that not in virtue of their sensibility. A still nearer parallel may be found in the work of See also:Mackenzie. Madame Riccoboni is an especial offender in the use of See also:mechanical See also:aids to impressiveness—italics, dashes, rows of points and the like. The See also:principal edition of her See also:complete works is that of Paris (6 vols., 18,8). The See also:chief novels appear in a See also:volume of See also:Garnier's Bibliotheque amusante (Paris, 1865).

Additional information and Comments
Riccoboni's short novel was not published in 1798 as written here. Instead it was written in 1765. The thirty+ years makes a large difference.
