HOUDETOT, ELISABETH FRANCOISE SOPHIE DE LA LIVE DE BELLEGARDE, COMTESSE DE (17301813)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 808 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOUDETOT, ELISABETH FRANCOISE SOPHIE DE LA LIVE DE BELLEGARDE, COMTESSE DE (17301813) , was
born
  in 1730. She married the
comte
  de
Houdetot
  (see above) in 1748. In 1753 she formed with the
marquis
  de Saint Lambert (q.v.) a connexion which lasted till his death. Mme de
Houdetot
  has been made famous by the chapter in
Rousseau
 's Confessions in which he describes his unreciprocated
passion
  for her. When questioned on the subject she replied that he had much exaggerated. A view differing considerably from
Rousseau
 's is to be found in the Memoires of Mme d'
Epinay
 , Mme de Houdetot's
sister
 -in-law.
For a discussion of her relations with Rousseau see Saint-Marc-
Girardin
  in the Revue des deux mondes (September 1853).
