Yes, but she isn't really like the 18th century novels with their strong moral and social criticisms either.She doesn't really have a parallel in European literature at any time( a few of us tried to find one French author remotely close to her, and failed)
I think Mark is right.She's unique.She doesn't even fit well with her contemporaries.
