«La cultura de la conversación» is the historical essay by Benedetta Craveri, published by Siruela in paperback (616 pages, in Spanish).
Before the Revolution of 1789, France lived through two turbulent centuries with the literary salon as a guiding thread, women as central figures, and conversation as a civilising axis. Benedetta Craveri reconstructs that world with voices, anecdotes, portraits and settings; sociability, wit and grace express an ideal of civilisation based on the word.
Volume 25 of the El Ojo del Tiempo collection. Translation by César Palma. Original title: «La civiltà della conversazione».
Will interest readers of cultural and social history of France and the Ancien Régime, with attention to the role of women.
Adele Benedetta Craveri is an Italian literary critic, academic and writer.
