Summary "In the Courts of Memory, 1858-1875; from Contemporary Letters" by L. de Hegermann-Lindencrone is a collection of personal letters written during the mid-19th century. The letters, penned by the author to her mother and aunt, provide an intimate glimpse into her life, especially highlighting the cultural and social milieu of the last Napoleonic court in France, involving prominent figures from the musical world and beyond. The opening of the book establishes the author's background and social connections, introducing her as Lillie Greenough, an American who becomes Madame Charles Moulton upon her marriage. It begins with her reflections on her schooling and notable professors, such as Louis Agassiz, while transitioning into her budding career as a singer. The letters convey her experiences growing up in a privileged environment, her participation in the vibrant cultural scene of Paris, and connections with influential figures, including composers and royalty. Through her correspondence, readers gain insight into her aspirations, social events, and the broader historical context surrounding her life, setting the stage for a rich narrative intertwined with the events of her time.
