Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth narrative of Belle de Zuylen, a remarkable 18th-century Dutch woman who later became a respected Swiss author under the name Madame de Charrià re. The author draws on a wealth of previously unpublished sources, including Belle's own letters, to paint a detailed picture of her early life in Holland, her friendships, and intellectual development. The author reveals Belle's struggles with her independent spirit, her role as an advocate for education and her pioneering ideas on female equality. The book provides valuable insights into Belle de Zuylen's intellectual circle, including her relationship with her tutor, Constant d'Hermenches, and her friendship with Benjamin Constant. It also explores the literary and philosophical influences that shaped her writing, including the works of Voltaire and Rousseau. Through the author's skillful storytelling, Belle de Zuylen emerges as a complex and fascinating figure whose life and writings offer a unique perspective on the changing intellectual and social landscape of 18th-century Europe.
