E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau and the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team
"The Correspondence of Madame, Princess Palatine" is a historical collection of letters written in the late 19th century. The letters, primarily authored by Élisabeth-Charlotte, Princess Palatine, offer insights into her life at the French court and her relationships with notable figures such as Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon. This work provides a unique perspective on the personal and political landscape of the time. The opening of the book introduces Madame and sets the tone for her correspondence, characterized by frankness and vibrant expressions of her thoughts and emotions. Élisabeth-Charlotte is depicted as a spirited and candid figure, often reflecting on her experiences in France compared to her German roots. Her letters cover various topics including her thoughts on court life, the politics surrounding her family, and her personal grievances, particularly with Madame de Maintenon. There is also a profound sense of nostalgia as she longs for her homeland and expresses concern for her native Palatinate amid the chaos of French politics. Overall, the beginning establishes Madame’s voice as both a participant and observer of the historical events that shaped her life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
