About This Item
1634 ENGLISH 1ed Guez de BALZAC Letters Cardinal Richelieu Valete Louis XIII France
Jean Guez de Balzac was a 17th-century French author known for his letters and essays. His letters, which have been his claim to fame, have still been studied by modern writers for their prose style.
This 1634 first English edition of Balzac's 'Letters' was dedicated to Cardinal Richelieu and includes correspondence with Richelieu, Cardinal Valete, de Bois Robert, and many other prominent French nobles, though none more important than those to King Louis XIII.
