Trade Review

“A biography of Jane de La Vaudère has been long overdue. La Vaudère has been unjustly forgotten by literary history, like many women of her generation who defied societal conventions by participating in a world largely dominated by male figures. Her great body of work is fascinating and original, as it reflects the important social, scientific, feminist, and literary discourses and ideas that agitated French society in the late nineteenth century. In this regard, Resurrecting Jane de La Vaudère is a much-needed and welcomed contribution.”

—Geneviève De Viveiros,author of “Au courant de la plume”: Zola et l’épistolaire
