Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de La Motte-Guyon (1648–1717), commonly known as Madame Guyon, was born at Montargis, France. An advocate of Quietism, Madame Guyon’s life was one of constant persecution for spreading her mystical beliefs. After spending numerous years in prison, she retired to live with her son in a village in the Diocese of Blois, where she focused on prayer and wrote poetry. Her published works grew in popularity after her death, and have been translated all over the world.
