| Summary | "La marquise de Condorcet: Sa Famille, son Salon, ses Amis, 1764-1822" by Antoine Guillois is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life and influence of the marquise de Condorcet, capturing her upbringing, her social circle, and her contributions amidst the backdrop of revolutionary France. The narrative likely delves into her philosophical encounters and relationships with significant figures of her time, portraying her as a central character whose life events reflect broader societal changes. The opening of the text introduces readers to Sophie de Grouchy, the marquise, detailing her childhood at the Château de Villette, her family background, and the lively domestic and social atmosphere that defined her early years. The setting is vividly described as a place of both pastoral beauty and intellectual engagement, where family members and notable literary figures mingled. Sophie’s early education, her close relationships with her siblings, and her convalescence from a serious illness are highlighted, alluding to her future role as a pivotal figure in her family's and society's evolution during a time of upheaval. The narrative sets a foundation for understanding her character’s development as she transitions from a sheltered upbringing to a more pronounced public life influenced by the philosophies of her era.
