Felicite, a noted writer and educator of Eighteenth Century France, was best known for her works Adele et Theodore (1782), Theatre d'education (1779-1782), as well as several historical novels and romances, particularly Mademoiselle de Clermont (1802). Well known in France during the late Eighteenth Century, and largely supportive of the French Revolution, she would fall out of favour with the Girondin political faction prominent at the time, leading to her exile to Switzerland and, subsequently, Berlin with her pupil Mademoiselle d'Orleans. Her husband, left behind, would shortly after face the guillotine. Her legacy remains a nonetheless enduring one, noted by the likes of Jane Austen, and appearing as a character in such works as Les Miserables and War and Peace. CONDITION In decorative tree-calf binding with gilt detailing. Externally quite smart, there is some wear to extremities, joints, boards and backstrip, as well as some staining to the front board of volume three. The hinges of two volumes are tender. Internally, the pages are generally firmly bound, though there is some strain in places, and are largely bright and clean, although there are instances of spotting, age-toning and foxing throughout, particularly to endpages. The pastedown sheets of volumes two and three have significant loss.
