Excerpt from The Women of the French SalonsIt has been a labor of love with many distinguished Frenchmen to recall the memories of the women who have made their society so illustrious, and to retouch with sympathetic insight the features which time was beginning to dim. One naturally hesitates to enter a field that has been gleaned so carefully, and with such brilliant results, by men like Cousin, Sainte-Benve, Goncourt, and others of lesser note. But the social life of the two centuries in which women played so important a role in France is always full of human interest, from whatever point of view one may regard it. If there is not a great deal to be said that is new, old facts may be grouped afresh, and old modes of life and thought measured by modern standards.In searching through the numerous memoirs, chronicles, letters, and original manuscripts in which the records of these centuries are bidden away, nothing has struck me so forcibly as the remarkable mental vigor and the far-reaching influence of women whose theater was mainly a social one. Though society has its frivolities, it has also its serious side, and it is through the phase of social evolution that was begun in the salons that women have attained the position they hold to-day. However beautiful, or valuable, or poetic may have been the feminine types of other nationalities, it is in France that we find the forerunners of the intelligent, self-poised, clear-sighted, independent modern woman. It is possible that in the search for larger fields the smaller but not less important ones have been in a measure forgotten. The great stream of civilization flows from a thousand unnoted rills that make sweet music in their course, and swell the current as surely as the more noisy torrent. The conditions of the past cannot be revived, nor are they desirable. The present has its own theories and its own methods.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An absolute must read for French Renaissance buffs By Jo S. Jackson I can't say enough kinds words about this book. It was recommended to me by a friend and I feel like I am immersed within the elegance of the French court everytime I open it on Kindle. I have recommended this to many of my friends who are history buffs. It would make a wonderful summer read, too, if you are looking for something to while away the hours on the beach. A definite keeper.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. a little hard to read through By avid reader U.S. I have been interested in salons of long ago and especially Ninon and her salon. Although I have only read a few chapters of this book, it is somewhat difficult to read through as the author that wrote this book is long dead and wrote in a different style.I like to read as my Amazon name states, but I am no expert and only read what I choose. I will see if I choose to finish this book ... I have so many others to read.
