Book Reviews of The Private Life of Marie Antoinette
Book Review: An eyewitness account
Summary: 5 Stars
Campan gives the general reader and historians alike an eyewitness, description of events at this doomed court. It is well worth noting that such fine works such as Lady Antonia Fraser's MARIE ANTOINETTE: THE JOURNEY and MARIE ANTOINETTE, LAST QUEEN OF FRANCE by Evelyne Lever and Catherine Temerson (as well as many, many others) cite Madame Campan dozens of times throughout.
We're pleased to see that Madame Campan's memoir has attracted readers. It's a wonderful book and we are proud to be the publishers. Campan wrote her book shortly after the death of Marie Antoinette. It was among the first, if not the first, accounts of the young Queen's life. This book gives the reader a chance to experience the court first-hand for themselves.
Summary of The Private Life of Marie Antoinette
The facts of Marie Antoinette's life are well documented. Daughter of the Empress of Austria; marriage to the prince of France; the ill-fated Affair of the Necklace, tales of excess and infidelity; her flight from Paris; her execution by guillotine. Until now the reality about this strong willed, compassionate and beautiful woman has proven elusive. Madame Campan, an accomplice to many of the actions above and more, here strives to reveal the truth.Historical Books
