"Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis" è un romanzo di Ugo Foscolo, considerato il primo romanzo epistolare della letteratura italiana, nel quale sono raccolte le 67 lettere che il protagonista, Jacopo Ortis, mandò all'amico Lorenzo Alderani, che dopo il suicidio di Jacopo le avrebbe date alla stampa corredandole di una presentazione e di una conclusione. Vagamente ispirato ad un fatto reale, e al modello letterario de "I dolori del giovane Werther" di Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, l'opera risente molto dell'influsso di Vittorio Alfieri.

C'est aussi un inquiéteur, un empêcheur de penser en rond, un infréquentable, un inclassable et un libertaire politiquement et littérairement incorrect. Dans le "Journal d'une femme de chambre", il donne la parole à une chambrière, ce qui est déjà subversif en soi, car un domestique, et plus encore une domestique femme, n'est pas supposé penser par lui-même, ni, a fortiori, tenir un journal et écrire comme Mirbeau.
