Madeleine de Scudéry (1607-1701) was a French novelist and playwright. The sister of Georges de Scudéry received an uncommonly well-rounded education for a woman of her time, not only in the arts but also in ancient history and languages. She reinvented the characters of Titus and Berenice as fictional protagonists of one of the most intriguing love story of antiquity.
