Censorship is of fundamental importance in eighteenth-century France, a fact corroborated by the increase in the number of censors throughout the century: from forty-one in the early 1700s to sixty-eight before the Revolution. In order to avoid the controls imposed by censure, colporteurs, that is to say clandestine book sellers, hid libertine works, political pamphlets, and the most controversial, yet loved books, in order to sell them to the richest clients.

La censura assume un’importanza fondamentale nella Francia settecentesca se si considera il vistoso aumento dei censori che passa da quarantuno all’inizio del secolo a settantotto alla vigilia della Rivoluzione. Cercando di raggirare i divieti imposti dalla censura, i colporteur ossia i venditori francesi ambulanti di libri eludano la sorveglianza nascondendo sotto il loro mantello sia scritti libertini che libelli politici, vale a dire i libri più amati e contestati dell’epoca, per poi venderli ai clienti più abbienti.
