Lafayette, Marie-Madeleine

    0.04 sec.

Lafayette, Marie-Madeleine (1634-1693)

French author. Her Mémoires of the French court are keenly observed, and her La Princesse de Clèves (1678) is the first French psychological novel and roman à clef (‘novel with a key’), in that real-life characters (including the writer François de La Rochefoucauld, who was for many years her lover) are presented under fictitious names.
