| 520 | 1 | |a "This book is a study of French writer/educator Felicite de Genlis (1746-1830), examining both the way in which she theorized the maternal role in her works and the manner in which she lived out her own maternity." "The study begins with a chapter devoted to Genlis's early experience and knowledge of motherhood, first as a child in her relationship with her mother, then as a young wife giving birth to three children of her own and assuming, as well, a maternal role as governess to the royal Orleans children. The remaining chapters in part 1 present models of motherhood found in Genlis's fictional works and in her correspondence, discussing the ways in which she expanded the maternal role, sometimes transforming it into a transgressive one through her development of its unconventional aspects. The second part of the study examines the originality of Genlis's literary matriarchy, investigating her theory and practice of marginal genres and generic innovation." "This book will be of interest to scholars of eighteenth-eentury literature, social and cultural history, and women's studies."--BOOK JACKET. | |
