Published in 1783, this translation was hugely popular in late
eighteenth-century Britain. It was read as a system of education by
authors such as Catherine Macaulay, Mary Wollstonecraft, Maria
Edgeworth and Clara Reeve, and is mentioned at the end of Jane
Austen's Emma. Some of the theories Genlis adopts in the education
of the eponymous children have their roots in Rousseau's Emile.
However, Genlis herself suggested that Rousseau knew little of the
practical education of children, and she endeavors to rectify this
in her own novel, focusing particularly on the education of the
female child, Adelaide. This important and influential work can
therefore be placed within the context of the late
eighteenth-century debate on female education.
