Vem daterade Marie du Fresnay?

Marie du Fresnay (French pronunciation: [maʁi dy fʁɛnɛ]), or Maria du Fresnay, née Daminois (1809–1892), was a French writer.

She was the mistress of Honoré de Balzac, by whom she had a daughter, Marie-Caroline du Fresnay (b. 4 June 1834), the only child of the French author. Her own mother was the playwright and novelist Adèle Daminois.

She was also the mother of French knight Ange Du Fresnay and the ancestor of French writer and silent film director Guy du Fresnay as well as of French contemporary essayist and economist Philippe du Fresnay.

Her life inspired Balzac's most famous novel, Eugénie Grandet (1833), which depicted in part her family, who were living at the time in the French city of Sartrouville.

Honoré de Balzac, född 20 maj 1799 i Tours, Indre-et-Loire, död 18 augusti 1850 i Paris, var en fransk författare. Han var en av realismens förkämpar. Balzacs huvudsakliga epos utgörs av La comédie humaine, Den mänskliga komedin, så benämnd efter Dante Alighieris La divina commedia (1308–1321, Den gudomliga komedin).
