Book Synopsis La Grande Mademoiselle at the Court of France by : Vincent Joseph Pitts
Book excerpt: Viewed through her writings, the events of Mademoiselle's life offer a unique perspective on several aspects of seventeenth-century France: the evolution of the Bourbon monarchy over the course of the century, the dynamics of aristocratic resistance to the centralizing power of the state, and the debate over the role of women in public and private life.
