A minor writer in the eyes of her contemporaries and with an uncompromising legacy, Louise Colet experienced the difficulties of being a woman of letters. Can we blame her for the eclecticism of a body of work that sampled every genre? Should we condemn her for not writing in the manner of the likes of Flaubert, and not feeling tormented by the demands of style or venerating sacrosanct literature? In any case, Louise Colet calls into question the literary nineteenth century, including its values and biases.
