In the aftermath of the French Revolution, three women who have fled France―the straitlaced aristocrat Emilie, her lighthearted maid Jos�phine, and the worldly Constance―try to make new lives for themselves in Altendorf, Germany. Their experiences, difficulties, and choices address the philosophical question, Are moral theories adequate guides to good conduct?

In her introduction to this late-eighteenth-century novel by Charri�re, Emma Rooksby discusses the sentimental tradition, Enlightenment ideas, epistolary fiction, Charri�re's career, and the difficult situation of women and women writers in postrevolutionary France.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
