Excerpt from Madame De Sevigne IT may appear hard at present to Speak about Madame de Sevigne so much has been written upon her that it seems nothing considerable can be said. As she had particularly a sincere and open character, the writers who have treated of her have generally drawn an exact portrait, and have not been put to much trouble to depict her as she was. The consequence is that, if a writer endeavours to do otherwise than they, there is a risk of painting her likeness untruth fully the more apparent parts would, perhaps, be neglected under pretext that everybody had seen them, and others would be given more than suitable importance, so that, to 'show her with a fresh face, a fanciful one would be traced.

Excerpt from Madame De Sevigne It has seemed the best and simplest plan to endeavour in this little book to tell her story in her own words, SO far as may be possible but how impossible it is to trans late her words One might as well try to translate into English the pleasant murmur Of a brook on a summer day, or the song Of a bird in the air. I have attempted no elaborate criticism of her style1 and manner of saying the ever new, ever delightful things which occur to her day by day; the tender, witty, laughable (rather than humorous) things and fancies or again, Of the Vivid and great suggestions that fill her heart and mind, and ours, as we read. Her art is too complete for criticism, too simple for analysis she has almost everything to say, and she says it.

Excerpt from The Letters of Madame De Sevigne to Her Daughter and Friends The Editress has set forth so fully, in the introductory sketch of Madame de Sevigne's Life and Times, her object in offering this book to the American public, that any further prologue may seem superfluous; yet there are one or two things to be said which seem to find their most proper expression in a Preface. Since the date of the first edition, the changes in the manners and feelings of the time have been rapid and continuous; and they have operated in a twofold manner. In the first place, we have become as a nation more thoroughly acquainted with French literature, and better able to appreciate that world of the past in which the great letter-writer lived. Madame de Sevigne was a woman who lived in and for others, - for her daughter, her friends, and, at a greater distance, for the brilliant circle of distinguished men and women of which she herself was so important a figure. Her letters are made up of incident, of meetings, of conversations: they are full of references to the topics then uppermost; they draw half their charm from the personality of the writer. Literature of this sort cannot stand alone. To enjoy it to the full we must know with some minuteness the history of the times in which it was written, and of the people to whom it was written. The knowledge of these things is now spreading wider every year, as we become familiar, through originals or translations, with the masterpieces of foreign languages. For instance, probably the best French sketch of Madame de Sevigne is from the pen of M. Sainte-Beuve, the great critic whom Mr. Arnold acknowledges for his master.

Excerpt from Selected Letters of Madame De Sévigné As an excuse for an edition of the Letters of Mme de Sevigne, I may plead the very kind words of encouragement called forth from teachers and reviewers by my edition of Moliere's L'Avare. I may also quote in support of my views as to the manner in which a text should be edited, the words of Mr. Balfour. He, speaking of the immortality which is con ventionally ascribed to great writers of the past, says: "If they survive at all, it is but a shadowy life they live, moving on through the gradations of slow decay to distant but inevitable death. They can no longer, as heretofore, speak directly to the hearts of their fellow-men, evoking their tears or laughter, and all the pleasures, be they sad or merry, of which imagination holds the secret. Driven from the market place, they become first the companions of the student, then the victims of the specialist. He who would still hold familiar intercourse with them must train himself to penetrate the veil which, in ever thickening folds, conceals them from the ordinary gaze." It is impossible in the short space of an introduction to give all that is necessary to enable us to "penetrate the veil" which hangs between us and the century of Mme de Sevigne. This has been done once with loving care by the Baron de Walckenaer (Memoires sur Mme de Sevigne), but as this fills out some eight volumes, I may be excused from thinking that it is likely to have been read by the ordinary student. I have felt compelled to omit from my choice of letters all reference to the Jansenist controversy, despite Mme de Sevigne's close connection with the Arnauld family; nor have I ventured to mention Descartes.

Excerpt from Madame De Sévigné, Vol. 1 of 2: And Her Contemporaries NO good letter writers appeared in England until the days of Horace Walpole and Lady Mary Wortley Montague. This was a full century after the brilliant days of French letter-writing. One way Of accounting for this superiority was, the manner in which the French women passed their time. Neither music nor painting formed part Of the education of the upper ranks in France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Madame De Svéigné HE most interesting thing in Madame de Sevigne s correspondence is herself. We must therefore endeavor at the outset to know her by means of what she says, or of what others say to her. We possess nearly fifteen hundred letters that she wrote or received, more than enough to reveal the entire woman. It is highly probable that a woman who wrote so much, even had she been mysterious and dissembling, as Madame de Sevigne was not, must have let out all her secrets.
