French literature of the 17th century - Les Amours and Les histoires tragiques.
In France, the period following the Wars of Religion saw the appearance of a new form of narrative fiction – that some critics have since termed the "sentimental novel" – which very quickly became a literary sensation thanks to the enthusiasm of a reading public searching for delight after so many years of conflict.
These relatively short (and often realistic) novels of love (or "amours" as they are frequently called in the ...

| | | | Jean Chapelain: Encyclopedia II - Jean-Baptiste Colbert - Economic reform With the abolition of the office of superintendent and of many other offices dependent upon it, the supreme control of the finances became vested in a royal council. The sovereign functioned as its president; but Colbert, though for four years he only possessed the title of intendant, operated as its ruling spirit, having had great personal authority conferred upon him by the king. One must not judge the career on which Colbert now entered without constant remembrance of the utter rottenness of the previous financial administration. H ...

| | | | Jean Chapelain: Encyclopedia II - François Bernier - His Life A son of farmers, François Bernier, very young, became an orphan and was cared for by his uncle, the curé de Chanzaux. At 15 years of age he moved to Paris to study at the Collège de Clermont (the future Lycée Louis-le-Grand) where he was invited to stay at the home of his younger friend, Chapelle the natural son of Luillier, a counselor at the parliament in Metz. There he most probably met Cyrano de Bergerac and Molière, but certainly the philosopher Pierre Gassendi(1592-1655), whose aid and secretary he became. He developed a taste for travel (1647) in the company of monsieur d'Arpajon ...

| | | | Jean Chapelain: Encyclopedia II - Jean-Baptiste Colbert - Ships Colbert achieved a lasting legacy in his establishment of the French royal navy, which owed all to him, for the king thought only of military exploits on land. For naval use, Colbert reconstructed the works and arsenal of Toulon, founded the port and arsenal of Rochefort, and the naval schools of Rochefort, Dieppe and Saint-Malo. He fortified, with some assistance from Vauban (who, however, belonged to the party of his rival Louvois), among other ports those of Calais, Dunkirk, Brest and Le Havre. To supply the navy with recruits he invented ...

| | | | Jean Chapelain: Encyclopedia II - French literature of the 17th century - Poetry Because of the new conception of "l'honnête homme" or "the honest or upright man", poetry became one of the principle modes of literary production of noble gentlemen and of non-noble professional writers in their patronage in the 17th century.
Poetry was used for all purposes. A great deal of 17th and 18th century poetry was "occasional", meaning that it was written to celebrate a particular event (a marriage, birth, military victory) or to solemnize a tragic occurrence (a death, militray defeat), and this kind of poetry was frequent ...

French literature of the 17th century - Les ruelles and Les précieuses.
Henri IV's court was considered by contemporaries as a rude one, lacking in the Italianate sophistication of the court of the Valois kings; it also lacked a queen, which had traditionally been the meeting point for authors and poets. Henri's literary tastes seemed largely limited to the chivalric novel Amadis of Gaul. Literary culture was thus decentralized in the first half of the century and salons formed around many noble and upper class ...

French literature of the 17th century - Theaters and theatrical companies.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, public theatrical representations in Paris were under the control of guilds, but in the last decades of the sixteenth century only one of these continued to exist: although "les Confrères de la Passion" no longer had the right to perform mystery plays (1548), they were given exclusive rights to oversee all theatrical productions in the capital and rented out their theater (the Hôtel de Bourgogn ...

| | | | Jean Chapelain: Encyclopedia II - Jean-Baptiste Colbert - The death of Mazarin and Colbert's rise Colbert's earliest recorded attempt at tax reform came in the form of a mémoire to Mazarin, showing that of the taxes paid by the people, not one-half reached the King. The paper also contained an attack upon the Superintendent Fouquet. The postmaster of Paris, a spy of Fouquet's, read the letter, leading to a dispute which Mazarin attempted to suppress.
In 1661, Mazarin died and Colbert "made sure of the King's favour" by revealing the location of some of Mazarin's hidden wealth. In January 1664 Colbert became the superintend ...
