Powys Mathers, engraved illustrations by Mark Severin. A woman uses her incredible beauty to captivate both d'Albert, a young poet, and disguised as a man, his mistress, Rosette. In this shocking tale of sexual deception, Gautier draws readers into the bedrooms and boudoirs of a French chateau in a compelling exploration of desire and sexual intrigue, and gives voice to a longing which is larger in scope, namely, the wish for completeness in oneself. \"Pierre Jules Theophile Gautier was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and literary critic. While an ardent defender of Romanticism, Gautier's work is difficult to classify and remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism. He was widely esteemed by writers as diverse as Balzac, Baudelaire, the Goncourt brothers, Flaubert and Oscar Wilde.\"","brand":"The Folio Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42313890398278,"sku":"2347102","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2347102.jpg?v=1732583527","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/mademoiselle-de-maupin-the-folio-society","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
