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 work focuses on the life and writings of Madame de Sévigné, a prominent figure in 17th-century French literature, particularly known for her correspondence which offers insights into her personal life and the societal norms of her time. The text examines her relationships, particularly with her daughter, and her experiences during the War of Louis XIV against the Netherlands. The opening of the memoir presents Madame de Sévigné's journey to the states of Brittany in 1671, highlighting her departure from Paris and her reflections during the trip. Accompanied by her uncle and son, she embraces her serene life at "Les Rochers," a retreat in the French countryside, contrasting her past at the court. The narrative also reveals her admiration for the simplicity and beauty of rural life over the complexities of court society. As she adjusts to her surroundings, she becomes engrossed in managing her estate, her gardens, and her correspondence, primarily with her daughter, showcasing the deep emotional threads that connect her experiences in the pastoral setting with her familial bonds.
