Summary "The Regent's Daughter" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the time of the early 18th century, featuring a blend of political intrigue and personal drama centered around the lives of the French royal family and their associates. The principal characters include Philippe d'Orleans, the regent, and his daughter, Mademoiselle de Chartres, who becomes an abbess amidst her noble lineage and youthful passions. At the start of the novel, various characters converge upon the Abbey of Chelles, with Philippe d'Orleans scolding his daughter for her lavish lifestyle as abbess. In a tone weaving humor and seriousness, the conversation reveals the tensions between aristocratic expectations and personal desires. As the regent confronts his daughter about her conduct, it becomes apparent that her background and interests are intricately tied to a world that resists the austere image of monastic life. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for the unfolding exploration of love, politics, and the pressures faced by the characters as they navigate their roles within a complex societal fabric.
