A famous salon host in 18th century France. Encyclopedist philosophers such as Turgot, d'Alembert, and others frequented her salon. In her later years, she became blind and hired Mademoiselle Lespinasse as her reader. However, when she opened her own salon, she lost her regular customers and lived a lonely and desolate life. Her letters, which she also exchanged with the English man of letters, Horace Walpole, are well known for the beauty of their writing.

フランス18世紀における有名なサロンの主宰者。チュルゴー、ダランベール、その他百科全書派の哲学者たちが出入りした。晩年は盲目になり、読書係としてレスピナス嬢を雇うが、レスピナス嬢がサロンを開くと、それに常連を奪われ、淋(さび)しい孤独な生活を送る。イギリスの文人ホレース・ウォルポールなどとも交わした手紙は、その文章のみごとさにより、よく知られている。 [原 好男] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
