«Madame de Sévigné, ou la saveur des mots, 1626-1696» is the biographical essay by Jean-Jacques Lévêque, published by ACR in paperback, in French.
Madame de Sévigné went down in history for her correspondence, above all the letters to her daughter, in which she portrayed with wit and spontaneity the life of the court and French society in the seventeenth century. Lévêque reconstructs her figure here and explains how those private writings, with no prior plan, became a literary work through their spirit, irony and power of observation.
Published in 1996 in Paris in the PocheCouleur collection; the edition consists of 192 pages.
For readers interested in seventeenth-century France, cultural history and the epistolary genre as a literary form.
French poet and art historian (1931-2011)
