Dans Les cotillons célèbres, Émile Gaboriau propose une suite de portraits historiques consacrés à la cour de Louis XIV. Le livre s'ouvre sur une idée forte: trois femmes résument, à elles seules, les grandes phases du long règne - La Vallière, la marquise de Montespan et madame de Maintenon. De l' aurore des débuts à la toute-puissance du roi-soleil, puis à la décadence, l'auteur relie passions, humeur et ambitions de ces favorites aux évolutions de la politique royale. La Vallière incarne la jeunesse et une couleur chevaleresque; Montespan accompagne l'épanouissement de la gloire et l'orgueil qui fait croire au monarque qu'il est lui-même la loi; Maintenon, Tartuffe en cotillons, annonce la période du sang, des crimes et des consciences violemment contraintes. Au-delà des anecdotes, Gaboriau interroge la fabrication d'un mythe: Louis XIV est-il vraiment le grand roi ou un souverain de théâtre, poseur, dont la postérité finit par fouiller les coulisses et crier: Comédie ! Un texte vif, polémique, idéal pour les lecteurs d'histoire culturelle, de chroniques de cour et de portraits de personnages qui ont pesé sur le destin d'un royaume.
