| Summary | "Lettres de Mmes. de Villars, de Coulanges et de La Fayette, de Ninon de L'Enclos" is a historical collection of letters likely written in the late 18th to early 19th century. This compilation features correspondence from notable women of the French court, focusing on their lives, relationships, and societal observations amidst the backdrop of the era. The letters offer a unique window into the thoughts and experiences of these women, highlighting their wit and intellect, particularly that of Madam de Villars and Ninon de L'Enclos. The opening of the work introduces readers to the letters exchanged among several prominent women, starting with Madame de Villars. Her correspondence from Madrid details both her personal experiences and observations related to recent royal engagements and the routines at court, setting a vivid scene of life in Spain during her husband's ambassadorship. She reflects on various social interactions, the behavior of the nobles, and her impressions of the newly arrived queen, providing insights into the customs and expectations of women at court. Overall, the beginning establishes the tone and thematic concerns of the collection, blending personal narrative with the historical nuances of the time.
