Nicolas Boileau Despreaux : Letters

Mary Russell Mitford to Elizabeth Barrett, 1 February 1838: 'I have just been reading Racine's "Letters," and Boileau's. How much one should like both, if it were not for their slavish servile devotion to the king (and I think it was real), and to that odious woman Madame de Maintenon.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Mary Russell Mitford      Print: Book
