About this book
Women of Modern France is Volume VII of Woman, by Hugo P. Thieme of the University of Michigan. The Heptameron is described as an accurate representation of society, its manners and style of conversation.
Mme. de Sablé is named a heroine of Cousin and a type of the social-religious woman. Mary Stuart, a beautiful, inexperienced, and impetuous girl of seventeen, gained ascendency over Francis II., a mere boy. In 1560 the king died after reigning only seventeen months. The text says that at this point Catherine enters upon the scene of action. A woman returns to Paris in the autumn of 1816 and spends a number of months very happily in the society of the salon.
