La Vieille Fille offers a new image of the single woman. The desire for succession torments Rose-Marie-Victoire Cormon as much as carnal desire. The confrontation between the three suitors makes it possible to paint the rivalries in a provincial city during the Restoration. This substantial edition reveals Balzac's anthropological gaze.
