Discover the play Marie B., based on the diary of Marie Bashkirtseff and her correspondence with Guy de Maupassant! Marie Bashkirtseff and her correspondence with Guy de Maupassant!
Marie Bashkirtseff begins a platonic, piquant correspondence with Guy de Maupassant. She was from the Ukraine, he was French. Selected passages from Marie Bashkirtseff's Diary punctuate this epistolary relationship, revealing the passionate personality of the "Slavic virgin", a multi-faceted artist who was so modern and feminist at the end of the 19th century.
