The essays in this volume analyse the significance (and failures) of literary coteries as spaces of aesthetic and political freedom. They offer an evaluation of the ethos of sociability in the women's salons of the Enlightenment, as the basis of the utopia of community and reflect on the notion of individual authorship within a group.
