The 'Mercure de France' was originally a French review, founded in the 17th century under the name 'Mercure Galant', which evolved to become, in the 20th century, a publishing house.
Under the impetus of Rémy de Gourmont and Alfred Jarry, a literary review took up the name 'Mercure de France' in 1890 and offered symbolist texts, notably by Jean Moréas, Ernest Raynaud, Jules Renard, Louis Dumur. Gradually gaining recognition, this review published both the greatest Parnassians (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Heredia, etc.) and witnessed the emergence of Jarry's Pataphysics.
The publishing house was born in its wake. It notably published the first works of Gide and Claudel, of Colette, of Apollinaire, of Georges Duhamel?

Adding to existing titles, more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18, and on May 18 the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers then were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès, 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort, 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset, 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch, 'La Sociale' with madame André Léo, 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat, 'La Commune'. It was especially in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus, between May 5 and 18, 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the pro-Communard Parisian press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government.

Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni (1713-1792) was, after being a mediocre actress by necessity, a novelist highly appreciated in her time, to such an extent that her peers refused to acknowledge that the author was a woman. Her first novel had immediate success and the following ones were even better received, praised for the fineness of style and the interest of details, placing Madame Riccoboni among the best novelists of the 18th century. Her work is above all a reflection of the feminine condition of her time, while at the same time paving the way for Romanticism by affirming the primacy of the heart over reason and social conventions. This novel is that of a group of women made independent by widowhood, and finally liberated.
