Sophie Cottin

    Esta autora alcanzó renombre por sus novelas románticas e históricas, en las que a menudo exploraba temas de moralidad y exilio. Su estilo se caracterizaba por ser salvajemente romántico pero impecablemente moral. La escritura se convirtió en el centro de su vida tras la temprana muerte de su primer esposo, aunque ella misma falleció en la treintena. Sus obras siguen resonando en los lectores por su profundidad emocional y sus mensajes atemporales.

Margaret Cohen's edition emphasizes the conflict between collective welfare and individual happiness within Enlightenment liberalism. Despite later criticisms of sentimentalism, the work significantly influenced the realist aesthetics of prominent French authors like Stendhal and Balzac.
