We were discussing whether people in the past were really as nasty as they are portrayed in TLMDM. They probably were. I thought we were talking about the nastiness of Lully and Louis XIV? G. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/i

Arto, Lully was despicable in his professional life as well as his personal one. Remember how, early in his career when he was writing ballets, he declared that the French language was unsingable? (Pretty cheeky for a foreigner to say that!) Then, after an opera company proved him wrong
