Histoire D'Eleonore De Parme : source perdue de 'La Chartreuse de Parme'

Bok av Richard Bolster
In 1810, Stendhal read the sentimental novella "Histoire d'Eleonore de Parme", whose anonymous author was certainly a woman. This text poses the question: can it be asserted that Stendhal took inspiration from this novella when he wrote "La Chartreuse de Parme", and not from real life?
