Madame du Deffand and Her World

Madame du Deffand’s intelligence and ‘taste for defiance’ were notable from childhood and after being forced to marry a husband ill-suited to her she threw herself into Regency Paris society, where her infidelity and opinions shocked even the most liberal-minded. This volume makes use of her extensive correspondence, particularly with Voltaire, Montesquieu and Horace Walpole, to trace her unconventional life. Slightly off-mint.
