"Mémoires touchant la vie et les écrits de Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Dame de Bourbilly, Marquise de Sévigné" is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This work chronicles the life and correspondence of Madame de Sévigné, particularly her experiences in the context of her relationship with her daughter, Madame de Grignan, and significant historical events during the reign of Louis XIV. The opening of the memoir finds Madame de Sévigné reflecting on her recent departure from Provence back to Paris, filled with melancholy at leaving her daughter behind. She grapples with the worries of her daughter's safety during a difficult journey due to poor road conditions and is deeply affected by the emotional distance that the journey implies. The narrative introduces various characters connected to her life, including friends she meets along the way, all while detailing her thoughts and feelings as she transitions back to her life in the capital. The portion establishes the blend of personal sentiment and historical backdrop that defines her letters, revealing the rich tapestry of daily life during a time of social and political upheaval.
