Description
1740 Sexuality Memoires of Bourdeille de Brantome Duels Military Letters 10v
The Memoires of de Bourdeille Brantome were not printed until 1665/66, more than 50 years after his death. Interestingly, he left orders and directions within his manuscripts on how he wanted them printed. Unfortunately, because they appeared so much later, they were not very complete (Chisholm, 1911). These memoires are not considered a very trustworthy source of information, but because of his writing style, controversial content, and naïve observations, they have been somewhat popular amongst the courtly. His work gives a passable picture of what court-life looked like during the turn of the 16th-century, but was this picture was what was most controversial.
