Unfinished Marivaux, like his other novel, Le Paysan parvenu, but probably for the incompletion by its very nature, Marianne is one of the first novels published in serial. Marivaux almost abandon the company several times, although the success of the novel was considerable. Emblematic work of the ^eighteenth, the book borrows from all genres in vogue: novel of manners, learning novel, picaresque and adventure. Marianne, Countess, y tale by letters adventure of his life, or how, received nothing, she will climb the social ladder.
It is also known as Marivaux had to stop at the eighth game, but for editorial reasons, he wrote other stories to give away. Only the twelfth part is not Marivaux.
