 Scudéry’s prolific authorship and influential salon brought her numerous honors. The Académie française awarded her its first literary prize for her essay On Glory in  1671.[17]  The Academy of the Ricovrati in Padua elected her to membership in 1684. But opponents strongly contested the literary and intellectual worth of Scudéry. Molière’s Les Précieuses ridicules (1659), Furetière’s Le Roman bourgeois (1666), and Boileau’s Satire X (1667) mocked Scudéry as the model  précieuse.[18]  According to this caricature, Scudéry’s erudition was pedantry, her profligacy redundancy, her philosophical theories second-hand and incoherent. This dismissal of Scudéry as a risible arriviste would long dominate her image among literary critics and close her books to generations of potential readers.
