Download or read book Lord Chesterfield s Letters written by Lord Chesterfield and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-11 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `My object is to have you fit to live; which, if you are not, I do not desire that you should live at all.' So wrote Lord Chesterfield in one of the most celebrated and controversial correspondences between a father and son. Chesterfield wrote almost daily to his natural son, Philip, from 1737 onwards, providing him with instruction in etiquette and the worldly arts. Praised in their day as a complete manual of education, and despised by Samuel Johnson for teaching `the morals of a whore and the manners of a dancing-master', these letters reflect the political craft of a leading statesman and the urbane wit of a man who associated with Pope, Addison, and Swift. The letters reveal Chesterfield's political cynicism and his belief that his country had `always been goverened by the only two or three people, out of two or three millions, totally incapable of governing', as well as his views on good breeding. Not originally intended for publication, this entertaining correspondence illuminates fascinating aspects of eighteenth-century life and manners.

Download or read book The Correspondence in Relation to Saint Cyr written by Madame de Maintenon and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Correspondence in Relation to Saint-Cyr represents a fascinating anthology that brings together the personal letters of three prominent figures in French history: Madame de Maintenon, Charlotte-Elisabeth, duchesse d'Orléans, and Marie Adelaide of Savoy, Duchess of Burgundy. This collection offers a rare glimpse into the intricate web of socio-political and cultural dynamics within the French aristocracy at the cusp of the 18th century. The anthology unravels a diverse array of literary styles and voices, shedding light on the secretive and often misunderstood environment of the Saint-Cyr Academy, a school founded by Madame de Maintenon for the education of noble girls. The range and depth of topics covered in these letters provide an invaluable insight into the lives and thoughts of these influential women, revealing their uncertainties, ambitions, and their complex relationships with power. The authors and their correspondences are set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in French history, marked by the splendour of the Sun Kings court and the subsequent cultural and intellectual awakening that would lay the foundations for the Enlightenment. Each figure brings a unique perspective, informed by their individual positions within the societal hierarchies of the time, thus offering a multifaceted understanding of the era. Their contributions are not only significant for their historical value but also for their contribution to the early feminist discourse, reflecting early notions of education, autonomy, and womanhood. This anthology is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of history, gender studies, and literature. It opens up a dialogue between the past and the present, inviting readers to explore the complex narratives of power, education, and femininity through the lens of personal correspondence. The diversity of literary voices and styles, combined with the detailed exploration of French aristocratic life, makes this collection a compelling and enriching read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this transformative period in French history.

Download or read book The Persian Letters written by Charles de Secondat baron de Montesquieu and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the 1758 edition, this translation strives for fidelity and retains Montesquieu's paragraphing. George R. Healy's Introduction discusses The Persian Letters as a kind of overture to the Enlightenment, a work of remarkable diversity designed more to explore a problem of great urgency for eighteenth century thought than to resolve it: that of discovering universals, or at least the pragmatic constants, amid the diversity of human culture and society, and of confronting the proposition that there are no values in human relationships except those imposed by force or agreed upon in self-interested conventions.
