The Countess of Salisbury (novel)
1836 novel / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Countess of Salisbury (French: La Comtesse de Salisbury) is an 1836 historical adventure novel by the French writer Alexandre Dumas. It was serialised in the newly founded La Presse newspaper between July and September 1836.[1] Dumas had been writing plays since the 1820s, but this marked his first serialised novel. In 1839 it was published as a three volume edition and a year later was published in an English translation.[2] Walter Scott was an influence on the author's writings, and he praises him in the preface of the 1839 edition in comparison to Genlis and Cottin.[3]
