Soon after her brilliant debut at Court, the beautiful and charming princess Mademoiselle de Clermont falls in love with the austere and mysterious duke of Melun. Nobler in spirit than in blood, Monsieur de Melun knows that their match could never be sanctioned by society. The young lovers struggle to balance their families’ wishes with their hearts’ yearnings, leading them through unexpected joy, risk and tragedy.
Madame de Genlis’ 1802 historical novella Mademoiselle de Clermont, often considered the author’s greatest work, has nevertheless been unfairly neglected by posterity, and until now has been unavailable in English translation. This story, with its blend of classicism and romanticism, set in the dazzling palaces and bucolic countrysides of Enlightenment France, is at last available to a wider audience, as part of Messidor Press’ mission to resuscitate lost classics of French literature.
