520    One of the foremost authorities on seventeenth-century 
       French culture provides an account of how, at one 
       glittering moment in history, the French under Louis XIV 
       set the standards of sophistication, style, and glamour 
       that still rule our lives today. DeJean explains how a 
       handsome and charismatic young king with a great sense of 
       style decided to make both himself and his country 
       legendary. When the Sun King's reign began, his nation had
       no particular association with elegance, yet by its end, 
       the French had become accepted as the world's arbiters in 
       matters of taste and style. DeJean takes us back to the 
       birth of haute cuisine, the first appearance of celebrity 
       hairdressers, chic cafés, nightlife, and fashion in 
       elegant dress that extended well beyond the limited 
       confines of court circles--and Paris was its magical 
       center. --From publisher description.
