Description

The first part of Modeste Mignon is based on a traditional species of folktale known as La fille mal gardee ("The Ill-Watched Girl"), in which a young woman takes a lover despite the close attentions of her guardians, who are determined to preserve her chastity for a more suitable match.

Modeste Mignon, a young provincial woman of romantic temperament, imagines herself to be in love with the famous Parisian poet Melchior de Canalis, whose works have filled her with passion.

She corresponds with him, but he is unmoved by her attentions.

Canalis invites his secretary Ernest de la Briere to deal with the matter.
