Mme Marie-Sophie Cottin : Amelie Mansfield

' At 2.30 went out to the library [..]Subscribed for a month [...] Came up to bed at 9.35. Sat up reading the first 79pp and several pages at the end of Amelie Mansfield. The story interesting. How poor the language after that of Rousseau.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Anne Lister      Print: Book

  

Marie "Sophie" Cottin : Elisabeth, ou les Exiles de Siberie

'We have a little French story in the house, called [underlined] Elizabeth [end underlining], much admired and praised: but "somehow", I have taken it into my head that it is [underlined] too good [end underlining] for my palate, because Mrs W - the strictest person in the world about Novels, put it into the hands of my Bone - and my bone yawned over it - andd when I asked her how she liked it, said - "O very much - only there's hardly any love in it!" Whip Novels without love!'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Anna Wilbraham      Print: Book
