A French poet and novelist (1810-76). Four times between 1839 and 1855, poems of hers were crowned by the French Academy. She was a graceful lyrist, and often struck the chord of deep passion with effect. Of her verses, poured forth with marvelous facility, "The Woman's Poem" is perhaps her best after the four offered to the Academy. Among her numerous novels, "Bruised Hearts" (2 vols., 1843) may be mentioned. She also wrote several narratives of travel.
