SUMMARY
Lucy Norton has provided a modern translation worthy of the original (she was encouraged by Nancy Mitford, and in fact dedicates the work to her) and Saint-Simon's splendid voice is clearly heard. But his legendary attention to detail at times threatens the narrative flow of the story. Lucy Norton has thoughtfully and compassionately abridged the repetitive and irrelevant, resulting in a work that allows the modern reader to enjoy the incredible richness of the whole.Norton, Lucy is the author of 'Memoirs of Duc de Saint-Simon, 1715-1723', published 2007 under ISBN 9781933698168 and ISBN 1933698160.
