Letters from the Marchioness de Sévigné to Her Daughter, the Countess de Grignan is a celebrated collection of letters written by Madame de Sévigné (1626–1696), a French aristocrat known for her wit and keen observations. Spanning several decades, these letters offer an intimate glimpse into 17th-century French society, politics, and court life under Louis XIV. Addressed to her beloved daughter, they are admired for their lively style, emotional depth, and rich detail. Considered a masterpiece of French epistolary literature, they provide both personal reflections and a broader portrait of the era.
