Code galant, ou, Art de Conter fleurette by Horace Raisson
"Code galant, ou, Art de Conter fleurette" by Horace Raisson is a treatise on the art of love and courtship written in the early 19th century. This work explores the intricacies of romance, the nature of love, and the essential skills needed to be charming and appealing to potential partners. It reflects a time when social etiquette and the delicate dance of courtship were paramount in romantic relationships. The opening of the
book sets the tone by establishing the pivotal role of love in human life, suggesting that a person must love at least once, with the outcome of that first love heavily influencing overall happiness. Raisson introduces the concept of "conter fleurette," which refers to the art of sweet talk or flirtation, as a critical social skill. He recounts a touching anecdote from the youth of King Henri IV and his first love, Fleurette, to illustrate the purity and depth of early romantic feelings. This narrative serves as a backdrop for the author's exploration of love's nature, laying the foundation for subsequent discussions on its various aspects and manifestations.
