It is believed that telling anecdotes functioned as a way of tightening the community and drawing its boundaries through the exchange of rumors and news. During the time of Voltaire, an ambivalence vis-à-vis the anecdote also governed historical memoirs, a genre concerned with particulars rather than with a broad overview of events.
