The story of Korrine
Madame de Staël, Napoleon's great opponent in letters, published Corinne, or Italy, a novel about a brilliant woman poet who improvises verse before crowds and is crowned at the Capitol, and who is abandoned by the Englishman she loves. The book was read across Europe and made Corinne a name for daughters. American families wrote it in new ways, and Korrine takes a K for the C and doubles the r, with no record of who first did.
