Le Grand Siècle by Egon Friedell
A lively, panoramic cultural history of 17th‑century France that examines how politics, religion, literature, theatre, art and science intertwined to shape an age of absolutism and refinement; it traces the rise of centralized royal power and courtly spectacle, the flowering of classical French drama and letters, the influence of salons and academies on taste and manners, and the intellectual currents—from religious conflict to nascent scientific thought—that both propelled and undercut the era’s grandeur.
