- Synopsis
- "Talented and resolutely independent, Marie d'Agoult (1805-76) was one of the most remarkable women of her time. Abandoning her privileged position in society, she eloped with her great love, the pianist and composer Franz Liszt, and later won fame as a writer under the pen name Daniel Stern. She published fiction, articles on literature, music, art and politics, and a history of the revolution of 1848, and she was an eloquent advocate for democracy, the eradication of poverty, and the emancipation of women. "Drawing on her memoirs, letters, and other unpublished writings, Richard Bolster's biography sets Marie d'Agoult's eventful life against a backdrop of dramatic political change in France."--BOOK JACKET.
