Fenelon's reputation has changed lately; his readers think of him no more as a dove, but as a serpent.
Martin Cooper , who analyses Fenelon's letters, believes that he appeals to an increasing number of modern readers by his acute intellectual and psychological awareness, his avoidance of pious jargon, and his realism.
