JM 's preface notes the novelty of her enterprise: in writing on political economy she will have to contend against the novelty of the pursuit with young persons of either sex. She includes no young...

Her choice of genres came from her reading in French, not English, fiction, though Louisa (one of two survivors from a cycle of tales set at the court of Louis XIV of France) also...

The tradition of such pedagogic books for young royals included Fénelon 's Télémaque and Bolingbroke 's Idea of a Patriot King. HM resembled them in her emphasis on character-building and the study of...

Despite her own past conversion, JB says she has made her French author speak the English of the Church of England, in an unusual attempt to bring Catholic devotional practices to the attention of devout...

The niece, it seems, has given her the opportunity to play the role of pious mentor. TCP teaches her to love and fear God, to remember that virtue must go beyond mere chastity but must...

Satires on women, she says, are enough, one would imagine, to make the hardest Forehead blush. But American women apparently do not blush, though they are colonial copy-cats in other ways: you mimick Great...

Both Fénelon and Voltaire praised ATL 's ability and achievements (in contexts where they did not need to flatter her).

AS drafted the first three books of an epic poem entitled Telemachus, adapted from François Fénelon 's Télémaque, 1699. (She also wrote a defence of Pope 's Homer translations against the strictures of Joseph Spence .)

She followed this in 1841 with another devotional text including biography: Facts and Feelings, illustrative of interior religion; accompanied by memorials of Madame Guyon , Fénelon , and other spiritual persons.
