Sévigné, Marie De Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise of

Born Feb. 5, 1626, in Paris; died Apr. 17, 1696, at the Chateau of Grignan in Provence. French writer.

Sévigné is known for her letters, written over a period of many years, to her daughter and friends. In the letters she discussed life in Paris and Versailles, political events, and literary and theatrical news. Writing in a rather witty style, she criticized the policies of the Jesuits, the hypocrisy of the court, and the wars that were burdening the country. She viewed her epoch through the eyes of an intelligent, if not unprejudiced, aristocrat. She took an irreconcilably hostile position toward peasant disturbances. Her letters are a model of the elegant and precise prose style of classicism.
