Madeleine de Scudéry (French: [madlɛn də skydeʁi]; 15 November 1607 – 2 June 1701), often known simply as Mademoiselle de Scudéry ([madmwazɛl də skydeʁi]), was a French writer. Her works demonstrate such comprehensive knowledge of ancient history that it is suspected she had received instruction in Greek and Latin. In 1637, following the death of her uncle, Scudéry established herself in Paris with her brother, Georges de Scudéry, who became a playwright. Madeleine often used her older brother's name, George, to publish her works. Read more on Wikipedia
