Senancour’s mother provided her son with a [[Jansenist]] education, before sending him to the [[University of Paris|Collège de la Marche]]. His father was emotionally distant, while by contrast his mother was frequently fussy and overly attentive; the result was a melancholy childhood filled with boredom and solitude. The family was quite wealthy, and lived on the [[Rue Saint-Denis]], near [[Saint-Sépulcre]], the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.&lt;ref name=":0" /&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Michel Orcel, "Rêveries d’un corps dans les Alpes (Senancour)" (Éditions Belin: ''Po&amp;sie'' 2006/2 N° 116), 124.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://essentiels.bnf.fr/fr/article/e3f412b0-45d5-46db-bab2-c3707185e4dd-etienne-senancour-melancolique-et-preromantique "Étienne de Senancour, mélancolique et préromantique"] at BnF Essentiels.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Jean-Marc Vasseur. “Étienne Pivert de Senancour dans le Valois.” ''Revue d’Histoire Littéraire de La France'' 115, no. 1 (2015): 169–89. &lt;nowiki&gt;http://www.jstor.org/stable/24722107&lt;/nowiki&gt;.&lt;/ref&gt;</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Senancour spent four unhappy years at the Collège de la Marche, where he felt out of place and withdrew further into himself.
