Description
This is the first translation of this work into English since 1776, and the only English version that is complete and unadulterated.
Sophie von LaRoche is credited with being the first German female novelist and author of the first German woman's novel. The History of Lady Sophia Sternheim is the first German Bildungsroman with a female protaganist, the first full-fledged German epistolary novel, and the first German sentimental novel. Its autobiographical aspects, incorporating thinly disguised vignettes of Wieland, Goethe, and other great figures of the day, give the work an unmistakably true-to-life flavor and immediacy.
