Isabelle de Charrière (French: [izabɛl də ʃaʁjɛʁ]; née Isabella Agneta Elisabeth van Tuyll van Serooskerken; 20 October 1740 – 27 December 1805), also known as Madame de Charrière and in the Netherlands as Belle van Zuylen (Dutch: [ˈbɛlə vɑn ˈzœylə(n)]), was a Dutch and Swiss writer of the Enlightenment who lived the latter half of her life in Colombier, Neuchâtel, Principality of Neuchâtel. She is now best known for her letters and novels, although she also wrote pamphlets, music and plays. She took a keen interest in the society and politics of her age, and her work around the time of the French Revolution is regarded as being of particular interest.
