| - | '''''La Religieuse''''' ('''''The Nun''''') is an 18th century [[French language|French]] [[novel]], by [[Denis Diderot]]. Completed in c. 1780, the work, however, wasn't published until 1796, after his death. In English it is called ''The Nun'', or ''Memoirs of a Nun'' in Francis Birrell's translation. | ||
| - | The novel was supposedly begun originally not as a work for literary consumption but as an elaborate practical joke aimed at luring the Marquis de [[Croismare]], a companion of Diderot's, back to Paris. The novel is told in a series of letters purporting to be from a nun, Suzanne, who implores the Marquis to help her in renouncing her vows, and describes her intolerable life in the convent. | ||
