摘要
在法國舊制度時期，友人之間的通信不僅為私領域的社交實踐，作家亦將此生活／生命書寫挪為文學創作之用。本文以女性寫著的女性友誼通信小說為對象，從出版和閱讀史的角度，探究女性之於書信文化的參與和建構。本文首先考察書信藝術論述中友誼書信的理念運用和範例的性別秩序。再借私人藏書拍賣目錄、書店租書目錄和期刊書評，檢視當時社會對本文論之文類作品的分類方式和接受情形。最後討論女作家在上述書寫規範、期待視域和創作之可能性的協調中，如何運作友誼書信的形式和理念，推動作品與讀者－友人進行感性分享的溝通實踐。

Abstract
Friendship correspondence was one of the major forms of writing practiced in everyday life in 18th-Century France. Writers used it in the composition of their literary works, for example in the genre of the epistolary novel. This essay focuses on female friendship correspondence in works of fiction composed by women writers, and aims to analyze, from the point of view of the history of publishing and of reading, their participation in the construction of epistolary culture and contributions shaping a form of communication which helped bring women’s writing to the public by way of print. Initially, we will study the ideal of the friendship letter employed in epistolary art discourse, as well as the normative representation of women’s letters and its evolution as presented in letter manuals. Then, to determine how the epistolary novels concerned could have been classified or received by their readers, we will employ catalogues from the auctions of private libraries and from bookshop reading rooms and book reviews. Based on these analyses, this essay will study how women writers, using the form and ideal of the friendship letter, conveyed in their writings the practice of a mode of communication emphasizing the sharing of sensitivity with their reader-friend.
