About This Book

L'ouvrage restitue la société bordelaise sous Louis XV, en dessinant les moeurs, salons et réseaux intellectuels qui animent la ville, notamment le salon de Mme Duplessy. Il oppose la vivacité provinciale aux monopoles parisiens, présente portraits de femmes et d'hommes d'esprit, retrace l'essor d'institutions savantes locales, les débats religieux et politiques, et l'intérêt croissant pour les sciences, l'économie et la conversation littéraire. À travers anecdotes et notices biographiques il montre l'interaction des élites, des académies et des cercles mondains, ainsi que la transformation des rôles sociaux et des pratiques culturelles au XVIIIe siècle.
