In response to damaging representations of their kind in Zola and Alexandre Dumas' novels, Céleste de Chabrillan, Valtesse de la Bigne, and Liane de Pougy crafted fictions recounting their triumphs as celebrities of the demi-monde and their outcries against the social injustices that pushed them into prostitution. Although their works enjoyed huge success in the second half of the nineteenth century, male writers penned faux-memoirs mocking courtesan novels, and successfully sowed doubt about their authorship in a backlash against the profitable notoriety the novels earned these courtesans. Colette, who did not write from personal experience but rather out of sympathy for the courtesans with whom she socialized, innovated the genre when she wrote three novels exploring the demi-mondaine’s life beyond prostitution and youth. 000762999 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 28, 2016). 000762999 650_0 $$aCourtesans$$zFrance$$vFiction. 000762999 651_0 $$aFrance$$xSocial life and customs$$vFiction. 000762999 852__ $$bebk 000762999 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-59709-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000762999 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:762999$$pGLOBAL_SET 000762999 980__ $$aEBOOK 000762999 980__ $$aBIB 000762999 982__ $$aEbook 000762999 983__ $$aOnline 000762999 994__ $$a92$$bISE
