Editing Isabelle Eberhardt (section)

==Legacy==
At the time of her death, Eberhardt's possessions included several of her unpublished manuscripts. Lyautey instructed his soldiers to search for all of her papers in the aftermath of the flood, and posted those that could be found to Barrucand.{{sfn|Mackworth|1977|p=224}}{{sfn|Blanch|2010|p=270}} After reconstructing them, substituting his own words where the originals were missing or too damaged to decipher, he began to publish her work. Some of what he published is considered to be more his work than Eberhardt's.{{sfn|Chouiten|2012|pp=59–66}} Barrucand also received criticism for listing himself as the co-author of some of the publications, and for not clarifying which portions of text were his own.{{sfn|Mackworth|1977|p=227}}{{sfn|Blanch|2010|p=271}} The first posthumous story, "''Dans l'Ombre Chaude de l'Islam''" (In the Warm Shadow of Islam) received critical acclaim when it was published in 1906.{{sfn|Bodley|1968|page=165}} The book's success drew great attention to Eberhardt's writing and established her as among the best writers of literature inspired by Africa.{{sfn|Mackworth|1977|p=226}} A street was named after Eberhardt in [[Béchar]] and another in Algiers.{{sfn|Bodley|1968|page=165}} The street in Algiers is in the outskirts;{{sfn|Mackworth|1977|p=227}} one writer at the time commented there was a sad symbolism in the fact the street "begins in an inhabited quarter and peters out into a wasteland".{{sfn|Blanch|2010|p=271}} She was posthumously seen as an advocate of feminism{{sfn|Blanch|2010|p=271}} and [[decolonisation]]; according to Hedi Abdel-Jaouad in ''[[Yale French Studies]]'', her work may have begun the decolonisation of North Africa.{{sfn|Abdel-Jaouad|1993|page=102}} Eberhardt's relationship with Lyautey has triggered discussion by modern historians about her complicity in colonialism.{{sfn|Chouiten|2012|pp=59–66}}

In 1954, author and explorer [[Cecily Mackworth]] published the biography ''The Destiny of Isabelle Eberhardt'' after following Eberhardt's routes in Algeria and the Sahara. The book inspired [[Paul Bowles]] to translate some of Eberhardt's writings into English.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bowker|first1=Gordon|title=Cecily Mackworth|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/cecily-mackworth-410094.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170223072245/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/cecily-mackworth-410094.html|archive-date=23 February 2017|work=The Independent|date=31 July 2006|access-date=23 February 2017}}</ref> Novelist [[William Bayer]] published ''Visions of Isabelle'', a fictionalised 1976 account of her life.{{sfn|Bayer|1976}} In 1981, [[Timberlake Wertenbaker]] premiered ''New Anatomies'', a play about Eberhardt.{{sfn|Stryker|2013|p=641}}{{sfn|Foster|2007|pp=109–128}}
