Richelieu's Desmarets and the Century of Louis XIV
Hall, Hugh Gaston (formerly Personal Reader in French, formerly Personal Reader in French, University of Warwick)
Jean Desmarets was a late Renaissance universal man. He was a founder-member of the Academie-francaise, a novelist, playwright, poet, and architect. This book reassesses his career in the context of Richelieu's cultural policies and relates the notion of a 'century of Louis XIV' to its origins in the reign of Louis XIII.
