| Summary | "Madame Sans-Gêne, Tome 1" by Edmond Lepelletier, Émile Moreau, and Victorien Sardou is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous days of the French Revolution, particularly around July 1792, and follows the spirited character of Catherine Upscher, a blunt and brave laundress known as "Sans-Gêne." The book explores themes of love, patriotism, and the social upheaval of the time through Catherine's interactions with various characters, including sergeant Lefebvre, amid the chaos of revolution. The opening of the story introduces readers to the vibrant atmosphere of a popular dance hall in Paris, where the crowd revels amid the looming revolution. It highlights the contrast between the gaiety of the festivities and the tensions of the political landscape, as significant figures like Louis XVI and revolutionary leaders are poised on the brink of conflict. Catherine's introduction comes as she playfully engages with the hesitant Lefebvre, establishing her bold personality. The lively scene progresses into her interactions with Lefebvre and her spirited declarations about patriotism and romance, setting the stage for her pivotal role in the unfolding drama of love and loyalty during a period of considerable historical change.
