1773. Eighteenth-century feminist
manuscript. Omelettes ou l'origine des Nouvelles Amazones. Ouvrage peu
analogue à son titre, mais qui dit plus qu'il n'annonce. Divisé en
chants puisque c'est un Poème. Par l'Auteur qui se soucie fort peu qu'on
le connoisse. L'an de Grace et de disgrace 1773.; imprimé nulle part,
puisqu'il ne mérite pas de l'être. Première et Dernière Édition. Prix:
la peine de le lire. A most amusing mock-heroic verse satire on
contemporary sexual mores. The saga recounts the tragic decline of
amorous arts being foiled by the Goddess Discord by means of a
treacherous omelette; and the final revenge of women in the formation of
a new society of Amazons. Written out in a fine, flowing script with a
hand-painted vignette on the title-page showing two men eating an
omelette. This title is not listed in Gay-Lemonnyer and is probably
unpublished.
