Up until now, Fran�oise has remained relatively unknown, even to those within her congregation. Fran�oise was the daughter of aristocratic parents and grew up in a world of privilege and wealth on a country estate in Picardy, France. She was educated in the best schools for girls and was introduced to the court at Versailles, where she entertained promising offers of marriage. What made her leave this all behind? In an engaging, extensively documented work, Jo Ann Recker tells Fran�oise's story, detailing how she accomplished her work within the turmoil of the French Revolution and it aftermath, and describing her friendship with Julie Billiart. This companion volume to Julie Billiart: Woman of Courage, by Rosanne Murphy, brings to life the story of a woman's possibilities for influencing the course of history. Francoise's inspirational life will be of profound interest to Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and their associates, and their present and former students. Anyone with an interest in women's studies and the history of religious congregations will find this to be fascinating reading as well.

The present study uses modern Molière criticism as a way of understanding Mme de Sévigné. In both Molière and Mme de Sévigné there is evidence of esprit or wit, that intellectual facility which perceives contrasts. Moliéresque critical theory would call this perception the "Imposteur" technique. As the opening lines of Molière's Lettre sur l'Imposteur propose, it is a "discours du ridicule" where ridicule is defined as the incongruous and the unreasonable. This notion depends on an act of intelligent judgement of what actually constitutes the normatively reasonable, and consequently, it presupposes the same perspective on the part of the reader/spectator. Implicit to both irony and ridicule is the complementarity necessary between the giver and the receiver of the message. The application of moliéresque critical theory to the Correspondance of Mme de Sévigné can contribute to a renewed appreciation of the highly intellectual quality of the comic genius of a "spirituelle marquise," a mother who desperately wanted to entice a distanced daughter to regularity in an epistolary exchange, a woman of wit and irony.
