About this book
Presented as the writing of Madame de Montespan herself, these memoirs record court life under Louis XIV. A translator's preface describes them as random recollections that reveal their author's character even while she describes other people. The plates include portraits of Madame de la Valliere, Madame de Maintenon, Hortense Mancini, Charles II, Moliere, Boileau and Racine. The first chapter gives her reasons for writing and then turns to Gabrielle d'Estrees. Montespan was a mistress of the king, and this English version is printed with etched and photogravure illustrations.
