Author Information

"Marie-Thérèse Blanc, whose real name was Thérèse Bentzon, was a French writer, essayist, and novelist who was born on September 21, 1840, and died in 1907. For many years, she worked as a reporter for the Revue des Deux Mondes. She was born in Seine-Port, Seine-et-Marne, a small village close to Paris. She traveled a lot in the United States and wrote about American writing and society. Marie-Thérèse was the daughter of Olympe Adrienne Bentzon and Edward von Solms, who was the minister of Württemberg in Paris. She was born in the house that her grandparents owned. We don't know anything about her brother. She only calls her grandmother ""witty and sound Parisian"" in her letters. At that time, her grandmother was remarried to the Marquis de Vitry, an old French nobleman born before the French Revolution who loved to tell her stories about that time. In her letters to Theodore Stanton, she talks about how she grew up admiring this unknown grandpa, Major Adrian Benjamin Bentzon, who was governor of the Danish West Indies from 1816 to 1820. Her biological maternal grandfather died when her mother was very young."
