This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Madame De Sévigné, Vol. 1 of 2 Those who are the closest students of the social and political life of France covered by the Sevigne correspondence, that is, roughly speaking, with the concurrent years of the youth and brilliant middle age of le roi-soleil, cannot fail to be struck firstly, with the very large number of things and persons of importance, thumb-nail, subsidiary portraits, that F itzgerald has woven into his Gobelin-like tapestry; and secondly, by their amazingly modern air. Madame de Sevigne is wholly modern, said a Frenchman lately. She is: but not a modern of the Victorian type, the type apparent to F itzgerald; and that he should have perceived and re-created in these Essays, the delicate and subtle nuances of the atmosphere in which a Bussy, a Vardes, a Marans, a Charles de Sevigne, the Coulanges lived, is a triumph of intuitive genius the very simplicity of whose Art is at once elusive and inimitable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume covers 30 Pre-Revolutionary French women, providing a representative sampling of their manifold and varied contributions to intellectual and cultural history. This volume is unique in its grouping of essentially French writers from the Pre-Revolutionary period. The authors included here range from those prominent because of their social position or literary fame, to those slowly becoming part of a new canon of Old Regime women writers - authors whose works were known to their contemporaries but who have slipped into near invisibility in the following centuries until their recent rediscovery and reassessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Age of Revolution, Paris came alive with wildly popular virtuoso performances. Whether the performers were musicians or chefs, chess players or detectives, these virtuosos transformed their technical skills into dramatic spectacles, presenting the marvelous and the outré for spellbound audiences. Who these characters were, how they attained their fame, and why Paris became the focal point of their activities is the subject of Paul Metzner's absorbing study. Covering the years 1775 to 1850, Metzner describes the careers of a handful of virtuosos: chess masters who played several games at once; a chef who sculpted hundreds of four-foot-tall architectural fantasies in sugar; the first police detective, whose memoirs inspired the invention of the detective story; a violinist who played whole pieces on a single string. He examines these virtuosos as a group in the context of the society that was then the capital of Western civilization.
