  [M]y antiquarian looked at me with a knowing eye, […] and lowering his voice into a confidential whisper (although not a soul was to be seen within half a mile around), communicated to me a mass of intelligence so much bordering on the nature of a chronique scandaleuse, that I found it necessary to stop his current of abuse by a peremptory order […]

  Yet I have at last induced her to withdraw her opposition, by remarking, with a grave air, how glad the embassies are, when there is a dearth of political news, to lay hold of a tale of this kind and to transmit it to their respective courts, as a chronique scandaleuse. The duchess admitted this, and at last, though with a very bad grace, consented to the performance of the opera.

  Lobbying and votes on the one hand, and concessions on the other might be written into a chronique scandaleuse of Canadian history. Railways and politics have, in fact, never been completely dissociated in Canada […]

  Our lack of information [about Agrippina the Younger] has led to wild speculations that her memoirs were a ‘chronique scandaleuse’, full of malice and slander written to blacken the reputation of her enemies. […] Obviously, the belief that they were a ‘chronique scandaleuse’, which is not in keeping with the character of commentarii, seems inspired by the prejudice that this is the kind of work women were apt to write rather than by any evidence.

  There is a chronique scandaleuse of the convents as dark and repulsive as the chronique scandaleuse of the papacy during the pornocracy, and under the last popes of the Middle Ages.

  Members of the book trade evoked another contemporary term, chronique scandaleuse, cautiously. Schütz, for example, insisted that Casanova's Memoirs should not be considered a chronique scandaleuse. Books in this category, he wrote, subordinated aesthetic, philosophical, and narrative values to the goal of arousal. He wrote that the chronique scandaleuse was also marked by the type of reading practice it fostered: a focus not on the whole of the narrative but on salacious passages mined for sensual pleasure.
