Question

As a man in this novel hides in a flower garden, he becomes madly jealous after the protagonist tells her husband she’s in love with a man she refuses to name, not realizing she means him. In a sexually-coded scene in this novel, the protagonist and her lover flirt gleefully while forging a letter, resulting in a very bad fake that fails to convince the Queen and ends her affair with the protagonist’s uncle. Nancy Mitford’s introduction to her translation of this novel chronicles its author’s time with (*) court ladies like Henrietta of England. This anonymously-published novel was likely revised by Rochefoucauld (10[1])(“rohsh-foo-KO”), its author’s lover. At this (10[1])novel’s end, its protagonist chooses not to marry the Duke de Nemours (10[1])after (10[2])meeting him at Henry (10[1])II’s court. For 10 points, name this novel about Mademoiselle de Chartres, (10[2])which is often called France’s first modern novel (10[1])and is attributed to Madame de La Fayette. ■END■ (10[2]0[5])
