Secret Memoirs of the Courts of Louis XV and XVI - Bok av Madame Du Hausset - Häftad

Of all the published memoirs relative to the reign of Louis XV, the Memoirs of Madame du Hausset (Ladies' Maid to Madame de Pompadour) are the only perfectly sincere ones. Sometimes, Madame du Hausset mistakes, through ignorance, but never does she willfully mislead; nor is she ever betrayed by her vanity to invent. Madame du Hausset was often separated from the little and obscure chamber in the Palace of Versailles, where resided the supreme power, only by a slight door or curtain, which permitted..

Persian Letters - Bok av Charles Louis Baron de Montesquieu - Häftad

Persian Letters - Bok av Charles Louis Baron de Montesquieu - Häftad

To Montesquieu belongs the honor of pioneering the movement out of which grew the philosophical dictionaries, encyclopedias, and the literary crusade against mental subjection. If ever satire had a distinct call to duty it was during the Regency in France. Montesquieu adopted the device of a series of familiar letters exchanged by two Persian travelers in France. They were completed in 1721. Popular taste was captivated by the wit and pleasantry of the Letters. They gently satirized the abuses rife..

Shakespeare in Music - A Collation of the Chief Musical Allusions in the Plays of Shakespeare - Bok av Louis C Elson - Häftad

\In preparing this volume on the music of Shakespeare, the author has been animated by a desire to show how closely the great poet allied himself to the Divine Art. Few of the readers of Shakespeare are aware of how much of his musical material can be traced home; many are unable to follow some of the poet's most subtle metaphors because they are unfamiliar with the musical works to which he refers, or with the song or melody which enriches the scene. ... As far as possible, musical technicalities..

Memoirs of the Comtesse De Boigne 1815 - 1819 - Bok - Häftad

This period was in every respect one of the most troubled and extraordinary in French history, and is fertile in events and changes, important..

Moliere - His Life and His Works - Bok av Brander Matthews - Häftad

I have endeavored always to center attention on..
