Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy

The History of Adolphus, Prince of Russia began as an interpolation in MCA 's romance L'histoire d'Hypolite, comte de Duglas, which was itself published in French in 1690 and not translated into English in its entirety until 1708 (below). The Ingenious and Diverting Letters of the Lady — Travels into Spain (translated from the first two parts of Relation du voyage d'Espagne, 1691, and generally known as The Lady's Travels into Spain) began with a long, descriptive title (The Ingenious and Diverting Letters of the Lady — Travels into Spain. Describing the devotions, manners, humours, customs, laws, militia, trade, diet, and recreations of that people. Intermixt with great variety of modern adventures, and surprising accidents: being the truest and best remarks extant on that court and countrey). It was quickly joined by an English version of its third part, and went through more than ten editions or reprints during the next fifty years. A edition which reprints (with modernised spelling) a version of 1692 appeared in 1930. It was serialised in January 1726 to April 1727 in Parker's Penny Post.

Once in print, it was re-issued in both licit and illicit editions. A scholarly edition was produced by William Harlin McBurney and Michael Francis Shugrue in 1965.
Marivaux enjoyed a high reputation in France before the advent of the philosophes, who mocked his style as affected. He acknowledged his debt to the Tatler and Spectator, and exerted an influence in turn on such English writers as Henry Fielding .
