Madame Dacier, une femme savante à l’aube des Lumières

Champion of the Anciens in the Querelle d’Homère, Anne Le Fèvre Dacier, however, is nevertheless also a forerunner of the Enlightenment. As a translator, she popularizes the texts of antiquity for the "ladies" and youth. Due to her way of life, this learned woman, who managed to live by her pen under Louis XIV, represents the alliance of scholarship and decorum. A website hosted by GRAC (Renaissance and Classical Age Group) gives links to the full text of her works and other documents.
