Short biography
Born Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne, she married François Motier, comte de La Fayette in 1655, and had two children. She went to court and formed her own successful salon. Among her famous acquaintances was Princess Henrietta of England, the future duchesse d'Orleans, who asked Madame de La Fayette to write her biography. Madame La Fayette published many of her works anonymously, including her most famous novel, La Princesse de Clèves, which appeared in 1678. It is considered the first true French novel and a prototype of the early psychological novel.

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some well-meaning but deplorably uninformed person keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am said person and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
