Jeanne Julie Éléonore de Lespinasse
Edit ProfileEducation
She was educated at convent school.
Career
Jeanne Julie Éléonore de Lespinasse was made governess to the marquise de Vichy, her mother’s legitimate daughter. The marquise du Deffand, one of the reigning aristocratic Parisian hostesses, recognized Lespinasse’s intelligence and charm and persuaded her in 1754 to come to Paris and assist at her literary salon. By 1764 she had became jealous of her younger companion’s popularity and dismissed her.
Lespinasse set up her own salon in the rue Saint-Dominique, and the philosopher and mathematician Jean Le Rond d’Alembert eventually joined her there. She nursed him through a serious illness but never returned his deep love for her. She, in turn, found her affection for the comte de Guibert, a man of fashion, unrequited. At her death she left d’Alembert the letters she had intended for Guibert. Her Lettres (1809) show her intensely experienced emotions of love, remorse, and despair. Denis Diderot wrote of her in his Rêve de d’Alembert (written 1769, published 1830; D’Alembert’s Dream), which she requested him to suppress.
