Book Synopsis Saint-Simon and the Court of Louis XIV by : Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie

Book excerpt: The Duke of Saint-Simon (1675-1755) was a self-obsessed courtier and chronicler of court life under Louis XIV. Drawing heavily on his memoirs, historian Ladurie offers a wonderful portrait of life with Louis, focusing on issues of hierarchy and rank in this tightly controlled universe. Illustrations.
