| Summary | "Lettres de Madame de Sévigné" by marquise de Marie de Rabutin-Chantal Sévigné is a collection of letters written in the late 17th century. This work encompasses the personal and social life of Madame de Sévigné, with significant focus on her relationships and observations about the society of her time, particularly her affection for her daughter, Madame de Grignan. The letters provide insight into the historical context of the "great century" of France, characterized by cultural refinement and political intricacies. The opening of the collection sets the stage for understanding Madame de Sévigné's life, detailing her early background, marriage, and the dynamics of her family. It highlights her intelligence and spirited personality, as well as her struggles with her unsatisfactory marriage and her deep devotion to her children, especially her daughter. The text introduces key themes of friendship, maternal affection, and the challenges faced by women in her era while hinting at the significant historical events influencing their lives, including the Fronde. In these letters, readers are given a glimpse into both the emotional depth and the societal commentary that make her correspondence timeless and relevant.
