Correspondance De Madame De Graffigny - 2 Juillet 1750-19 Juin 1751, Lettres 1570-1722 (French, Hardcover)

Francoise de Graffigny (1695-1758) frequented an impressive list of personages, including Voltaire, and her letters offer a unique record of a quarter century of France's intellectual history. This collection, which will eventually consist of fifteen volumes containing more than 2500 letters (most of them written to Francois Devaux from 1738 on), offers detailed documentation of eighteenth-century social, literary, and political history, and at the same time provides an absorbing chronicle of intrigue and gossip."
