My object has been to show how, for the last two centuries and more, women have contributed to the formation of the modern novel in the two great literatures of modern times - the French and the English. To this account of what they did I have prefixed biographical sketches to show also what they were. French writers only in this volume: Mademoiselle de Gournay; Mademoiselle de Scudery; Madame de la Fayette; Madame de Tencin; Madame de Genlis; Madame de Stael; others. Show more
