| Summary: | <p>This study establishes Marqués y Espejo’s <em>Retórica epistolar </em>as a text that is almost entirely a translation from a French work. Marqués y Espejo recognized the fact that the more learned, bourgeois society of the time often used letters to communicate. Always attentive to expanding his readership, Marqués y Espejo adapted his French source to address the difficulties that many letter writers encountered in Spain. Moreover, by including at the end of his treatise a set of original letters penned by himself, Marqués y Espejo reveals his ever-present commitment to improve the situation of women and their education. </p> |
