Caroline-Stéphanie-Félicité or Madame de Genlis (25 January 1746 – 31 December 1830) was a French writer of the late 18th and early 19th century, best known for her novels and theories on children's education. her devotion to religion, morality, and feminine submission, strangely contrasts with her own life and her art. Très rare. Première édition, dans de jolies planches contemporaines turquoises avec des décorations dorées. Avec une page de titre gravée et des portraits de saints gravés. Toutes les tranches sont dorées. Texte en français. Comprend un espace pour les notes et les souvenirs, ainsi qu'un calendrier. [2], 45, [45] pp. 125 x 80 mm (5 x 3¼ inches). Les coins de la reliure sont mous, petite marque d'encre sur le premier plat, et décoloration sous les bordures décorées en doré. Le joint supérieur est fendu et l'intérieur est légèrement roussi ; les charnières ont été réparées à un moment donné. Caroline-Stéphanie-Félicité ou Madame de Genlis (25 janvier 1746 - 31 décembre 1830) est un écrivain français de la fin du XVIIIe siècle et du début du XIXe siècle, surtout connu pour ses romans et ses théories sur l'éducation des enfants. Sa dévotion à la religion, à la morale et à la soumission féminine contraste étrangement avec sa propre vie et son art.
