Book Synopsis
The eighteenth century in New Spain witnessed major changes: among these, was the adoption of French customs among the upper groups of society in response to the spreading ideas of the Enlightenment. This work raises the question: Was it really a period of relaxation of social customs, in this age of growth without development?
