Scudéry, Magdeleine de

    0.18 sec.

Scudéry, Magdeleine de (1607-1701)

French novelist. She wrote long romances on the theme of love and was the hostess of a brilliant salon in Paris from about 1650. Her works include Artamène, ou le Grand Cyrus/Artamenes, or the Grand Cyrus 1648-53, Clélie/Clelia 1654-61, and Almahide 1661-63.

She livened up her stories with abductions, always delicately described, and included thinly disguised portraits of contemporary figures.

She was born in Le Havre, a sister of the writer Georges de Scudéry (1600-1667).
