Henriette-Julie de Castelnau, comtesse de Murat, Les Lutins du château de Kernosy, éd. Perry Gethner et Allison Stedman, Paris, Classiques Garnier, 2024.
The Sprites of Kernosy Castle (1710) by Mme de Murat exemplifies the novel of leisure, a type of fiction popular at the end of the seventeenth century, reflecting both increased interest in the private lives of the aristocracy and a pre-Enlightenment questioning of political and religious orthodoxies.
