Those reasons of the heart of which, according to Pascal, reason knows nothing, totally pervaded 17th-century France. Writers and poets of the time explored more than ever before the impulses and recesses of the human passions, from the subtlest to the most violent. The scrutiny of all the dimensions of love's bonds and of the sentiments in general, as evidenced in the Traite des passions
by Descartes, the Maximes by La Rochefoucauld as well as in the theatre of Racine, led the century to a remarkable and subtle psychological understanding. Beyond what appears to be a real fascination, one notices the desire to elucidate the transports of the soul and, apparently, the will to keep oneself in check.
