Frank Hamel
Famous French Salons is a book written by Frank Hamel and published in 1908. The book provides a comprehensive account of the famous French salons that flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries. The salons were gatherings of intellectuals, artists, writers, and philosophers who met regularly to discuss literature, art, politics, and other topics of interest. Hamel provides an in-depth look at the most prominent salons, including those hosted by Madame de Rambouillet, Madame de Sta?????l, and Madame Geoffrin. The book explores the role of the salons in shaping French culture and society, and their influence on the Enlightenment movement. Hamel also discusses the key figures who attended the salons, such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot, and their contributions to French literature and philosophy. The book is a fascinating insight into a significant period of French history and culture, and a must-read for anyone interested in the Enlightenment and the intellectual history of France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
