In 1897, Elizabeth met some members of the Félibrige: Felix Gras, Frederic Mistral and Marie Josephine Gasquet (b.1872) and author of Une Fille de Saint François (1922), Une Enfance Provençale (1926–41), Sainte Jeanne d’Arc (1929), and La Fête-Dieu (1932). Mistral had co-founded the Félibrige some years earlier in an effort to preserve Provençal culture.
