La duchessa di Chevreuse: Maria di Rohan

Unknown Author
4.9/5 (13321 ratings)
Description:Excerpt from The Duchesse De Chevreuse: A Life of Intrigue and Adventure in the Days of Louis XIIIIt may appear a somewhat bold undertaking, after the publication of Victor Cousins highly valued work Mme. de Chevreuse, 1862), to write a life of the Duchesse de Chevreuse. But I have ventured to treat the subject afresh, because it has appeared to me that Victor Cousin was unacquainted with a number of documents which throw a new light on the life-story of Cardinal Richelieus famous opponent; that he did not, perhaps, extract all the advantage he might have gained from the texts published in the Appendix to his work - texts of which, in some cases, fuller and more extensive copies exist than those of which he has made use; and finally, because, swayed by scruples far removed from those which affect the rights of the historical critic, he thought himself bound to soften down certain of his heroines regrettable characteristics, and thus render his portrait of her more flattering,I have taken all these documents in hand again, I have sought out fresh ones, I have made a closer analysis of the feelings of Mme. de Chevreuse. And I believe that I have thus been able to produce a more life-like impression of one of the most representative figures in the aristocracy of the seventeenth century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
