About this book
Marie Bashkirtseff (From Childhood to Girlhood), credited to Marie Bashkirtseff, is translated from the French by Mary J. Safford. The preface says that Marie Bashkirtseff, beginning at twelve years old, wrote her journal ingenuously, sincerely. The text shows a candid, affectionate little girl saying I love him, and that is what makes me suffer.
The speaker says that no one in the household considered a certain man a suitable match, and that the household would raise a loud outcry, for they are dreaming of a throne for the speaker. The speaker gives a reason for going to Rome: If I stayed in Nice I could not work; I should only torment myself. The text mentions going to the Pincio and to a milliner to order a Marie Stuart cap.
