Born in Paris on May 9, 1763, Anne-Marie de Montgeroult, comtesse de Beaufort d’Hautpoul, was a French writer who died there on October 20, 1837. Sources describe her as a femme de lettres, and she is also associated with poetry and fables.
Library and reference records show a varied body of work. She published Poésies diverses, romances, épîtres et fables in 1820, and she is also known for the historical novel Childéric, roi des Francs, which has remained accessible through later library and digital editions.
She is often mentioned alongside other writers of children’s literature from her time, suggesting a reputation for works aimed at younger readers as well as adult audiences. Even today, her name surfaces in literary databases and digitized collections that preserve the work of lesser-known women writers from France.
