A short critical volume in which the academician and 1929 Prix Goncourt laureate, a pillar of the NRF, situates Marivaux within the tradition of the comedy of sentiment and the analysis of language — precision of avowal, the balance of roles, “transparent” prose — against the caricatures of “marivaudage.”
