Eugenie Foa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugenie Foa (1798-1853) was a French romance writer, born at Bordeaux. She was by descent a Spanish Jewess, and her maiden name was Gradis. She married young, but soon left her husband, and, despite delicate health and failing eyesight, she supported herself by her pen, using at times the nom de plume "Maria Fitzclarence." Madame Foa's books include:
- Le ridouschim (1830)
- La Juive: histoire des temps de la régence (two volumes, 1835)
- Les Mémoires d'un polichinelle (1839)
- Le petit Robinson de Paris (1840)
- Le vieux Paris (1840)
She wrote charming tales for young people, with the moral not unduly prominent.
