Catalogue Note
Née Coëtnempren de Kersaint, Claire de Duras fit son entrée en littérature grâce à son amitié avec Mme de Staël et Chateaubriand. Elle acquit sa notoriété par de courts romans sentimentaux consacrés à des personnages marginaux et défavorisés par leur condition sociale, comme la jeune sénégalaise Ourika, ou Edouard, amoureux de la fille de son protecteur.
