(First published in 1846 under the pen name Daniel Stern, ...)
First published in 1846 under the pen name Daniel Stern, Nelida tells the story of a beautiful French heiress who surrenders everything--marriage, reputation, and an aristocratic way of life--for the love of a talented young middle class painter. Based on the author's own ten-year relationship with the pianist and composer Franz Liszt, the novel quickly became the scandalous bestseller of its day. Its author, Marie d'Agoult, has emerged as one of the most remarkable women of her time. An aristocratic Parisian woman who left her husband and child to become the companion of Liszt, d'Agoult became an accomplished woman of letters whose works included a major history of the 1848 revolution in Paris. In Nelida, her only major novel, she brings to life the deeply intimate parts of her own story and the era in which it took place. Written with a keen sensitivity to social mores and psychological nuances, the novel reveals the primal cry of a woman determined to control her own destiny without betraying her womanhood. Appearing here for the first time in English, Lynn Hoggard's translation of Nelida is ripe for rereading by today's readers.

Marie Catherine Sophie, Comtesse d'Agoult was a French romantic author. She is also known by her pen name, Daniel Stern.
Background
Marie was born on December 31, 1805 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, as Marie Catherine Sophie de Flavigny, the daughter of Alexander Victor François, Vicomte de Flavigny (1770–1819), a footloose émigré French aristocrat, and his wife Maria Elisabeth Bethmann (1772–1847), a German banker's daughter.
Education
The young Marie spent her early years in Germany and completed her education in a French convent after the Bourbon Restoration.
Career
In Paris she gathered round her a brilliant society which included Alfred de Vigny, Sainte-Beuve, Ingres. Chopin, Meyerbeer, Heine and others.
She was separated from her husband, and became the mistress of Franz Liszt. During her frequent travels in Switzerland, France and Italy she made the acquaintance* of George Sand, and figures in the Lettres d'un voyageur as " Arabella. "
Returning to Paris in 1839, Mme d’Agoult began her career as a writer and in 1846 published a largely autobiographical novel, Nélida. She was a close friend of the novelist George Sand, whose views on morals, politics, and society she shared and in whose house she had lived for a time with Liszt. She also became the leader of a salon where the ideas that culminated in the Revolution of 1848 were discussed by the outstanding writers, thinkers, and musicians of the day. Her own writings include Lettres républicaines (1848); Histoire de la révolution de 1848 (1850–53); a play, Jeanne d’Arc (1857); and a dialogue, Dante et Goethe (1866). Her Mes Souvenirs 1806–1833 (1877) was supplemented by Mémoires, 1833–1854, published posthumously in 1927; both are valuable for the light they throw on the social, literary, and musical circles of her time.
