Dédié à ses compagnons du Redoutable, La Troisième Jeunesse de madame Prune est un merveilleux badinage de Pierre Loti sur le Japon, ses mousmés - Inamoto, " fleur énigmatique et jolie, au teint d'ambre roux, qui respire la santé, la jeunesse fraîche ", ses bonzaïs - " des nains vieillots qui se vendent très cher ", ses geishas - mademoiselle Pluie d'Avril, " indéfinissable et insexuée, un petit chat qui parle ", ses femmes - madame Prune, " une nuque charmante, comme sortirait une fleur d'un bouquetier ". Mais c'est surtout un hymne étincelant au Japon, " indécis et comme chimérique, moitié gris perle et moitié rose, plus étrange, plus lointain, plus japonais que les peintures des éventails ou des porcelaines. Un Japon d'avant le soleil levé".

The Princess of Cleves by Madame de La Fayette Set towards the end of the reign of Henry II of France, The Princesse de Cleves (1678) tells of the unspoken and unrequited love between the beautiful, noble Mme de Cleves, who is married to a loyal and faithful man, and the Duc de Nemours, a handsome man who most courtesans find irresistible. Warned by her mother not to admit her passion for her, Mme de Cleves hides her feelings from fellow courtiers, until she finally confesses to her husband - an act that carries tragic consequences for all. Described as France's first modern novel, The Princesse de Cleves is an exquisite and profound analysis of the human heart and a moving representation of the inseparability of love and anguish.

Displaying her intellectual and literary abilities from a young age, 'Mrs Taylor of Ongar' (1757-1830) enjoyed writing all her life. She had eleven children, of whom six (four of them writers) survived to adulthood. Her published works began with advice books for her own daughters, produced when increasing deafness made ordinary conversation difficult for her. Given the difficulty of providing advice equally appropriate to girls at all levels of society, this 1815 work is addressed to 'females in the middle ranks'. It is assumed that a girl's aspiration, as well as her destiny, is to be a wife and mother: conduct towards the husband, and the rearing of children, are of prime importance. But there is also a chapter for the husband, pointing out his reciprocal duties to his wife as an equal partner in their relationship. The book offers fascinating insights into the middle-class ideal of domestic happiness.
