Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 2017.

The present study aims to investigate various writers of nineteenth-century France whose topic is that of the courtesan, or public woman. The question proposed is: Can a woman ever recover from a fall into prostitution? The rehabilitation of the courtesan assumes a moral framework and therefore the fallen woman can never be redeemed in the nineteenth-century imaginary. The dame aux camelias myth elicits the sympathy of the reader but traps the protagonist in the moral framework and her only option is death. To counter the myth, the courtesan's confessional narrative uses celebrity to free herself from the framework and re-invent herself. The study argues whether a "fallen" woman can ever be truly rehabilitated and if so, how? What are the limitations of rehabilitation?
