Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni (October 25, 1713 in Paris - December 7, 1792
in Paris), whose maiden name was Laboras de Mézières, was a French
actress and novelist.She was born in Paris in 1713.In 1735 she married
Antoine François Riccoboni, a comedian and dramatist, from whom she
soon separated. She herself was an actress and had moderate success on
the stage.Madame Riccoboni's work is among the most eminent examples
of the "sensibility" novel; among the parallels cited in English
literature are works by Laurence Sterne and Samuel Richardson. A still
nearer parallel may be found in the work of Henry Mackenzie. Her works
were also described as "letter novel" containing the negotiations of
femininity, desire, and ambition. She has influenced other writers,
including Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and his literary aesthetics. Marie Jeanne Riccoboni Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
