About the author
Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet
2,087 books46 followersJacques-Bénigne Bossuet (September 27, 1627 – April 12, 1704) was a French bishop and theologian, renowned for his sermons and other addresses. He has been considered by many to be one of the most brilliant orators of all time and a masterly French stylist.
Court preacher to Louis XIV of France, Bossuet was a strong advocate of political absolutism and the divine right of kings. He argued that government was divine and that kings received their power from God. He was also an important courtier and politician.
The works best known to English speakers are three great orations delivered at the funerals of Queen Henrietta Maria, widow of Charles I of England (1669), her daughter, Henriette, Duchess of Orléans (1670), and the outstanding soldier le Grand Condé (1687).

Potentes oraciones fúnebres de la Francia del S. XVI
Tres momentos cumbre de esta gran obra son: La oración fúnebre del príncipe de Condé revela el prisma más poderoso del talento de Bossuet. Grande y fluida en la oración fúnebre de Enriqueta de Inglaterra, conmovedora y grave en la de la duquesa de Orleans, la elocuencia de Bossuet se eleva a la altura de la elocuencia antigua.
