"During the period between the publication of Choderlos de Laclos's Liaisons dangereuses and the promulgation of the Napoleonic Code, Isabelle de Charriere (1740-1805) produced a body of diverse and innovative novels. Revealing Difference is directed at elucidating both the new perspective on eighteenth-century fiction that her work elicits and the evidence it offers on the construction of gender. A novel of which only the provocative title page remains hints at Charriere's originality. Camille (1796) is subtitled ou le nouveau roman [Or the new novel] and features a one-sentence description of what is to follow. Charriere wrote that her intention was to create a new type of heroine. Instead of a conventionally beautiful woman, she planned to create an ugly one." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
