A propos de cet article

In-12. (2)154, 111(1)p. Bound in original half black calf. First ed. Includes : Zuma, Las Cañas del Tiber, Paulina, Zeneida, La Viuda de Luzi. The writer and harpist Stéphanie Félicité du Crest (1746-1830), also known as Countess of Genlis or Madame Brûlart, is one of those literary figures of such importance that her name appears in the biographies of the great authors who succeeded her, despite that, today, some do not even know it. She grew up in Champcéry and received a careful education within a noble family that had fallen into disrepair. Admired by her grace and mastery of playing the harp, in Paris, she managed to attract everyone's attention, and at the age of sixteen she married the Count of Genlis, Charles Alexis Brûlart. Some time later, and thanks to the contacts of an aunt of hers, Stéphanie began working at court as governess for all the children of the Dukes of Chartres. Her success was such throughout Europe that some of her books were also translated in Spain, although not the most revolutionary ones. This is how Adela y Teodoro, Inés de Castro: a novel taken from the history of Portugal (1832) and Zuma or the discovery of cinchona (1827) appeared, among others. But if the highlights of her production were translated in one place, and with great success and loyalty on the part of the public, it was Great Britain. CodBos2.
