Recenzii
“A correspondent of some of the most famed women writers of the age, Bellefonds-Villars dispatched a series of letters from the Spanish court of King Charles II, where her husband was King Louis XIV’s ambassador. Gender segregation in the Spanish court was such that this favorite of Charles II’s new bride, Marie-Louise d’Orléans, enjoyed a type of access denied her husband. Hester’s first-ever translation of these precious letters allows us to witness this épistolière’s metamorphosis into a back-channel diplomat, leveraging her relations with Marie-Louise d’Orléans so as to bend the Spanish monarch to the absolutist will of Louis XIV.”
"[A] small but exciting corpus."
