«Chère Madame de Sévigné...» is Roger Duchêne's biography of Madame de Sévigné, published by Gallimard in paperback (112 pages, in French).
The book portrays Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, known as Madame de Sévigné, from her unconventional education in seventeenth-century Paris. It shows how her art of conversation carried over into her letters, especially those sent to her daughter, the Countess of Grignan, and how posterity came to recognize that correspondence as a literary work.
The work, published in 1995, belongs to the Découvertes Gallimard series, number 253; its subject, Madame de Sévigné, lived between 1626 and 1696.
For a general audience interested in seventeenth-century France, epistolary literature, and biographies of women writers.
Roger Duchêne was a French biographer specializing in the letters of Madame de Sévigné.
