I know, I doubt they've even read the books in question, let alone in French.

Marie de France, ma8. Bisclavret gets me every-fuckin'-time.

What else? Baculard d'Arnaud's proto-Gothic tales; Senancour's Obermann; Rabelais; Cyrano de Bergerac's proto-sci-fi alchemical extravaganza; Honoré d'Urfé's L'Astrée,

Just what kind of lit. are we talking about here, OP?
I read tons of historic material from the 17-18th centuries, hermetic stuff, alchemy, astrology, as well as correspondence, poetry and fiction. You could just do an all-in-one and read Nostradamus...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Claude Levi Strauss, Virginie Despentes, Maurice G. Dantec, Jean Genet, Michel Tournier

He said hard mode.

Flaubert's Salambo or The temptation of st. anthony are not set in the 19th century. not sure what conceptual bullshit is so i'm not sure if it passes that criteria

Paul Christian
The History and Practice of Magic

molière

A man after my own heart. But that's still 19th century. Pity his "Little Red Man of the Tuileries" hasn't been translated for the anglophone monoglots, that's a great laugh entirely.
