Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle : Plays
Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 23 December 1751: 'I want to talk to you of Fontanelle's Plays, have you seen them? They are incomparable. Truth, virtue, simplicity, and good sense, are the characteristics of his heroines, and there is besides something agreeably odd and uncommon in the whole manner.'
