'''''Delphine''''' is the first novel by [[Anne Louise Germaine de Staël]], published in 1802. The book is written in [[epistolary novel|epistolary form]] (as a series of letters) and examines the limits of women's freedom in an [[aristocracy|aristocratic]] society. Although Madame de Staël denied political intent the book was controversial enough for [[Napoleon]] to exile the author.
