Louise von Francois (1817-1893) was a German realist writer whose
work appeared in several editions during her lifetime and was
translated abroad. Her most famous novel, Die letzte
Reckenburgerin, attracted significant critical attention from her
contemporaries and was regarded as one of the most innovative
novels of the century. Her other prose fiction, however, is less
well known. In the context of the ongoing re-assessment of
nineteenth-century women writers, this book evaluates the thematic
preoccupations and narrative technique of Francois's creative work
as a whole. Through a study of ten representative texts, most of
which have not been subject to detailed literary analysis in the
past, the author considers Francois's powerful portrayals of female
self-reliance, and seeks to elucidate aspects of her most cherished
convictions, which centred on values of honour and duty, and on a
vision of a more equitable and decent society.
