Figure lointaine et floue de la première des "Filles du Feu" publiée en 1854, Angélique entraîne l'auditeur au cœur de l'Idéal et du Romantisme (l'ouvrage est d'ailleurs dédié à Alexandre Dumas, autre grande figure du romantisme). Ce récit, entrecoupé de digressions, à la manière des contes orientaux, agace et retient comme un philtre du temps passé. On ne peut s'arrêter, s'empêcher de continuer à chercher, à la manière de Gérard de Nerval, pour entr'apercevoir finalement Angélique, cette figure d'un amour mythique.
