Publisher's Note
The notion of taste appears in the work of five leading French writers of the seventeenth century, MŽrŽ, Saint-Evremond, La Rochefoucauld, La Bruyre and Boileau. Michael Moriarty shows how taste and related terms serve ideological ends and are affected by their ideological context, by the position of the speaker or writer, and by the social group of which he belongs or wishes to be a member. The notion of taste both helps to shape a new dominant society and to register conflicts within that society. This study breaks new ground in relating close readings of major texts to a complete political analysis of seventeenth-century French culture in terms of class (as defined in Marxist theory) and gender. It provides new insights on the authors discussed and on French Classical literature in general.
