Marie Thérèse Péroux d'Abany

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie Thérèse Péroux d'Abany (* 1753 in Rouen , † March 24, 1821 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye ) was a French writer.

Her marriage to the violent and irascible officer d'Abany was not a happy one. After separating from her husband, she settled in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. In 1821 she died in the monastery of Saint-Thomas-de-Villeneuve, where she had led a pious life.

In 1801, Madame d'Abany wrote a two-volume Bible novel for young girls that was published in Paris under the title Seila, fille de Jephté, juge et prince des Hébreux . Towards the end of the work, the extremely virtuous daughter experiences an ascension after she and her father have gone to the place of sacrifice.

In her prose poem L'Amazone française ou Jeanne d'Arc (2 vols., 1819 and 1823), the strictly Catholic and royalist-minded author Jeanne d'Arc the Blanka of Castile explains the French Revolution , the death of King Louis XVI. as well as the government of Louis XVIII. predict.
