''Son confesseur exigea de Rete le sacrifice de tous les passages dont la publication pouvait être un scandale public''. (in Quérard). ''Les Mémoires de Retz constituent un témoignage partial sans doute, mais souvent lucide, sur son époque, et surtout, l'expression d'un individu très attentif à l'image qu'il se fait et qu'il donne de lui-même, croyant à la grandeur et associant au plus haut degré le calcul et la passion. Edités sous la Régence pour un public curieux des événements de la Fronde, ils ont sans doute aussi contribué, par leur caractère très personnel, à infléchir le genre romanesque vers l'analyse et l'apologie du moi qu'on trouvera dans les oeuvres de Marivaux et de Prévost''.
