Summary | "La Grande Mademoiselle, 1627-1652" by Arvède Barine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orléans, known as La Grande Mademoiselle, a significant yet underappreciated figure of her time. Through her life experiences, the book illustrates the complex socio-political landscape of 17th-century France, particularly during the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. The opening of the book introduces La Grande Mademoiselle, daughter of Gaston d'Orléans, and sets the stage for an exploration of her childhood and early influences. The narrative highlights her upbringing amidst the court's intrigues, the contrasting personalities of her parents, and the royal family's dynamics. As Barine delves into La Grande Mademoiselle’s ambitions and the constraints she faced, it becomes evident that her life paralleled the shifting attitudes in France, reflecting broader societal transformations in morality, education, and women's roles at the court. This portion effectively establishes not only the character's background but also hints at her future adventures and the societal challenges she would embody.
