L’Histoire d’Hyppolite, comte de Douglas by Madame d’Aulnoy is a baroque novel influenced by preciosity. It recounts the adventures of a heroic duo, Hyppolite and Julie, against the historical backdrop of the fifteenth century. At the heart of this novel is a tale that would set in motion the fashion for fairy tales in the seventeenth century.
