This book follows the evolution of the salon through its various iterations, from the courts of the Italian aristocracy to the literary elite of eighteenth-century Paris, before ultimately examining its impact on English letters and society. The volume underscores the importance of the salon as a space for the exchange of ideas and the fostering of artistic creativity.
