| Summary | "Mémoires touchant la vie et les écrits de Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Dame de Bourbilly, Marquise de Sévigné" is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of a broader work about Madame de Sévigné, a prominent figure in 17th-century French literature known for her epistolary correspondence and her insightful observations on society and personal matters. The text provides a detailed exploration of Madame de Sévigné's life, her relationships, and the cultural and political landscape of France during her time, including her reflections on the significant figure of Turenne. The opening of the work introduces us to Madame de Sévigné shortly after her return to Paris from Brittany in 1676. We learn about her ill health and the heartfelt welcome she receives upon her return from friends concerned for her wellbeing. The narrative touches on the turbulent political climate, particularly the impact of the death of the great military leader Turenne, which has left a profound mark on both Madame de Sévigné's personal life and the national sentiment in France. Through her letters, we gain a glimpse of her relationships with her family members and friends, as well as her commentary on public events, illustrating her as a keen observer and participant in the socio-political discussions of her time.
