«Jeanne» is the biographical essay by Jacqueline de Romilly about her mother, published by Editions de Fallois in paperback, with 248 pages and in French.
Jacqueline de Romilly wrote this book after her mother's death in 1977 and did not want to publish it during her lifetime. It portrays a woman of multiple talents, a tireless writer who never achieved success, and who was widowed at the beginning of the First World War and lived in the shadow of her daughter. The text evokes French society in the first third of the twentieth century and is at once a confession of the inseparable bond between mother and daughter, with the admiration and affection the author felt for her.
Posthumous work published at the request of the editor and friend Bernard de Fallois.
Recommended for readers interested in biographies, memoirs and intimate French literature by a female author.
Jacqueline Worms de Romilly was a French philologist, classical scholar and fiction writer. She was the first woman nominated to the Collège de France, and in 1988, the second woman to enter the Académie française.
