Abstract
Vanity for the use of young ladies: Good manners and good death in educational novels for Second Empire girls ABSTRACT: In the 1850es, the Second Empire settles in after five stormy decades that unveil the vanity of temporal power. The legitimist writers Sophie Rostoptchine, countess de Ségur, and Victorine Monniot, have left a deep imprint in the education of Second Empire young ladies. Their teaching, which taps on practical interpretation of Cahtolic catechism illustrate the Christian principles of renunciation taught by the memento mori while echoing the anguishes of the time. The article aims to study the presence of vanity as a pedagogical tool in Le Journal de Marguerite (1858) and the cycle of Sophie (1858-1859) and to highlight the links between these edifying novels and the fears expressed by Baudelaire and Edmond de Goncourt.
