	§7. Abbé Prévost and contemporary French admirers of Shakespeare. XII. Shakespeare on the Continent. ...
		Abbé Prévost and contemporary French admirers of Shakespeare.
		Abbé Le Blanc devoted a number of his Lettres d’un Français (1745) to Shakespeare; and, although his views are essentially bounded by the pseudo-classic horizon, he at least, as Jusserand has pointed out, attempted to do justice to the charm of Shakespeare’s style.
		Lastly, mention should be made of Louis Racine, son of the poet, who, in an essay on his father’s genius (1752), vindicated the greatness of the classic drama by a comparison of Shakespeare with Sophocles.

		The tragic love story Manon Lescaut has been the model for operas (by Puccini, Massenet and Henze) and films for years.
		This French classic by the Abb Prvost, retranslated for the first time in 52 years by Steve Larkin, shows remarkable resiliency more than 200 years after its original publication.
		Set in Paris and Louisiana around 1720, it is the archetypal 18th-century romance, with the noble des Grieux as devoted lover and the worldly Manon as inconstant mistress.

	Coffeehouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		By 1739 there were 551 coffeehouses in London, including meeting places for Tories and Whigs, people of fashion or the "cits" of the old city center, coffeehouses known as gathering-places for the wits or for stockjobbers, merchants and lawyers, booksellers and authors.
		According to one French visitor, the Abb� Pr�vost, coffeehouses, "where you have the right to read all the papers for and against the government," were the "seats of English liberty."
		In a well-known engraving of a Parisian coffeehouse of ''ca'' 1700, the gentlemen hang their hats on pegs and sit at long communal tables strewn with papers and writing implements.
