About the Authors
Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) was born in Tours, France, educated at the Collège de Vendôme, and studied law at the Sorbonne. His father wished him to become a lawyer, but he left Tours in 1819 to seek his fortune as an author in Paris. He wrote eighty-five novels in twenty years, but his life was one of frequent privation. In 1850, he married Countess Hanska, a rich Polish lady with whom he had corresponded for more than fifteen years. Five months later, Balzac died in Paris.
Rachel Scott (1848–1905) was a Scottish pioneer in women’s education who founded a college and published multiple Latin and French translations anonymously as R. S. Scott. She was also a prominent suffragist and contributed articles to the Manchester Guardian in support of women’s right to vote.
