Madame de Sévigné (1626–1696)
Autore di Selected Letters
Sull'Autore
Mme de Sevigne is the great correspondent of French literature. Her letters, written mostly to her daughter from 1648 to 1696, offer both a fascinating depiction of the France of Louis XVI (many of the great of the age are described) and a mine of subtle psychological reflections on human behavior. mostra altro The portrait they offer of the complex relationship between mother and daughter is compelling, and their style (which influenced many writers, including Proust) is marked by clarity and elegance.

- Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sévigné, usually called Madame de Sévigné, is one of the most celebrated letter writers and chroniclers of 17th-century France. She was born in Paris to an old and distinguished Burgundian family. In 1644, she married Henri, marquis de Sévigné, with whom she had two children. Her husband was killed in a duel and thereafter Madame de Sévigné devoted herself to her family and her circle of friends. Most of her famous letters were written to her daughter Françoise-Marguerite, Madame de Grignan, to whom she was close all her life. In 1677, she moved into the Hôtel Carnavalet, now the Musée Carnavalet, dedicated to the history of the city of Paris. An unauthorized edition of 28 of Madame de Sévigné's letters was first published in 1725, some 30 years after her death. Her granddaughter Pauline de Simiane edited and published 614 of the letters in 1734-1737. Copies of more of the letters were found in an antique shop in Paris in 1873.

Also, it becomes monotonous when you’re forever reading one side of a conversation. It’s like hearing someone on the phone: you only have one side of the story.
My main purpose in reading this was to glean info on the Affair of the Poison, especially anything relating to the Marquise de Brinvilliers. What bit there is on the marquise I’ve already read elsewhere. I’d hoped for more in this volume.
Madame was without doubt a fine writer, though, and it’s wonderful that her correspondence has been preserved for posterity. We get an insight into her life and times, and Madame’s adoration of her daughter is touching.
Anyone more familiar than I am with Madame's friends and the events that took place during her life will most probably find this a great read.… (altro)
