reviewed The Age of Conversation on June 15, 2014 The Age of Conversation
Louis XIV locked up his aristocracy in a gilded prison Versailles. He named new aristocrats of the middle-class man deserving to dilute the nobility. In reaction the noble women created the conversation. This very organized ritual made it possible to be recognized as noble and to keep far away indesirable.
It is an structure of space and of time. It is necessary to be allowed. But the conversation is not innocent. The words can kill more surely than weapons.
To the XVIII, it will take a character less formal. One will discuss sciences and the Enlightements. Mrs. Craveri makes us penetrate in these living rooms, in these rooms (they received in her "ruelles"), where women had the power. And from strong personalities release themselves, from Marquise de Rambouillet to Mme de Stael.
We can have a certain nostalgy of the raffinment and this time. And "l'esprit", this particular form of humour, so french.
