La Maupin (1670-1707): sa vie...

This is perhaps the most detailed non-fictionalized biography of la Maupin extant.

Over time, I expect to accumulate a number of excerpts here, such as:

Gaston d'Aubigny also has its legend was presented as a hero adventure, "brave as a sword, running the" gambling, dueling and women, making fun "of God and the Devil" (i), this which is not very surprising for those who lived at that time in Paris, where it is asserted that there was more than ten thousand swordsmen in the Latin Quarter, Faubourg Saintgermain up, where people flocked to sword and scrap (2) it must be able to defend and explain daily risks his life to the street.

The only concern of Aubigny was, apparently, have a daughter around 1673. We will look forward to that day and bring it to 1670; no text confirms this view, but the start of Mademoiselle Maupin is at the Opéra in 1690, it would have been only seventeen at the event, and have already accomplished many feats, impossible at such a young girl. Moreover, the biographers are to marry at seventeen years and begin in 1693 and even 1695, while the date of its first appearance at the opera is really the month of December 1690 (i).

the last footnote being to Parfaict.
