Françoise Eléonore Dejean de Manville

[1] Her body is in the 11th division of the Père Lachaise Cemetery in the Delille enclosure, beside her husband's, where it was moved in 1846.

[5] The correspondence between Françoise and Boufflers was first published in 1875, edited by Henri Prat and Ernest de Magnieu.

A completely fresh version was published in two volumes in 2009/2010, edited by Sue Carrell, with very extensive notes that attempt to bring the relationship to life.

Those by Bouffier are sometimes rather too literary, while those of Madame de Sabran seem more spontaneous, and display her remarkable ironic intelligence.

[4] F. L. Lucas's poem 'A Tale of Two Centuries' in his From Many Times and Lands (1953) is about Eléonore and her daughter Delphine de Custine.
