Synopsis

In 1725, a slim volume of seventy-five pages was published, entitled: Selected letters from Madame la marquise de Sevigne to Madame de Grignan, her daughter, containing many particularities of the history of Louis XIV. This simple correspondence illustrates the 17th-century spirit so exquisitely, that it soon acquired the status of an exemplary piece of writing. Madame de Sevigne approached her work with a delicious abandon. Her creative process was unrestrained and capricious. Indeed, her sole aim in creating a body of work with neither plan nor goal was to entertain a circle of select acquaintances. Her spirit and wit infuse the text throughout, bringing this accumulation of letters the unity of a true work of literature.
