Quando Maria Teresa succede al padre Carlo VI d’Asburgo, l’ultimo erede maschio di un casato che aveva prosperato per secoli, molti temono che una donna avvenente, giovane e inesperta non riesca a sopportare il gravoso fardello della corona. Armata di umiltà e determinazione, si rivelerà invece una sovrana illuminata, una «madre della patria» amorevole e attenta alle esigenze dei suoi sudditi, un’imperatrice propensa alla mediazione, ma capace anche di fermezza e pragmatismo, che attuerà una serie di importanti riforme. Costretta in nome della ragion di Stato a dare in sposa l’appena quattordicenne Maria Antonietta al delfino di Francia per rinsaldare l’alleanza fra Vienna e Versailles, Maria Teresa non smetterà mai di preoccuparsi della condotta di questa sua giovane figlia dal carattere vivace, incline alla leggerezza e allo sfarzo. Soprannominata dai suoi nemici «l’Austriaca», considerata il simbolo di un potere opprimente, Maria Antonietta si attira l’odio del popolo per gli errori della prima fase di regno e per la violenta campagna denigratoria di cui è vittima. Dimostra grande fermezza e coraggio negli anni della Rivoluzione e, nell’ottobre del 1793, dopo aver sfilato con estrema dignità tra la folla inferocita, viene ghigliottinata. Un racconto appassionante che restituisce spessore alle due donne più influenti nell’Europa del Settecento, un’indagine coinvolgente su due distinte e opposte interpretazioni del potere, che getta nuova luce sulla difficile transizione tra il crepuscolo dell’assolutismo monarchico e l’affermazione, anche sanguinosa, delle nuove istanze democratiche.

Parigi, 1673. Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, in arte Molière, il più grande commediografo francese, muore improvvisamente al termine di una trionfale rappresentazione del suo "Malato immaginario". Mentre la città piange la scomparsa del genio comico, il Luogotenente di Polizia Nicolas de la Reynie, uomo integerrimo e acuto osservatore, nutre sospetti sulla reale causa del decesso. Un anno prima, Madeleine Béjart, storica compagna di Molière, era morta in circostanze altrettanto misteriose. Due morti sospette, avvenute lo stesso giorno a distanza di un anno, un registro di polizia misteriosamente scomparso e una tragedia inedita e scottante, scritta da Molière, conducono La Reynie in un labirinto di intrighi, segreti e passioni fatali. Sullo sfondo di una Parigi opulenta e corrotta, dove l'ombra dell'Affare dei veleni si allunga minacciosa, il capo della polizia inizia una pericolosa indagine che lo porterà a svelare una sconvolgente verità, intrecciata al mondo del teatro, alle ambizioni di potere e alla spietata sete di vendetta.

An enthralling work of history about the Libertine generation that came up during—and was eventually destroyed by—the French Revolution. The Last Libertines, as Benedetta Craveri writes in her preface to the book, is the story of a group of “seven aristocrats whose youth coincided with the French monarchy’s final moment of grace—a moment when it seemed to the nation’s elite that a style of life based on privilege and the spirit of caste might acknowledge the widespread demand for change, and in doing so reconcile itself with Enlightenment ideals of justice, tolerance, and citizenship.” Here we meet seven emblematic characters, whom Craveri has singled out not only for “the romantic character of their exploits and amours—but also by the keenness with which they experienced this crisis in the civilization of the ancien régime, of which they themselves were the emblem.” Displaying the aristocratic virtues of “dignity, courage, refinement of manners, culture, [and] wit,” the Duc de Lauzun, the Vicomte de Ségur, the Duc de Brissac, the Comte de Narbonne, the Chevalier de Boufflers, the Comte de Ségur, and the Comte de Vaudreuil were at the same time “irreducible individualists” and true “sons of the Enlightenment,” all of them ambitious to play their part in bringing around the great changes that were in the air. When the French Revolution came, however, they found themselves condemned to poverty, exile, and in some cases execution. Telling the parallel lives of these seven dazzling but little-remembered historical figures, Craveri brings the past to life, powerfully dramatizing a turbulent time that was at once the last act of a now-vanished world and the first act of our own.

Surveying court life and urban life, warfare, religion, and peace, this book provides a comprehensive history of how gender was experienced in early modern Europe. Gender, Power and Privilege in Early Modern Europe shows how definitions of sexuality and gender roles operated and more particularly, how such definitions--and the activities they generated and reflected--articulated concerns inside a given culture. This means that the volume embodies an interdisciplinary approach: literature as well as history, religious studies, economics, and gender studies form the basis of this cultural history of early modern Europe. There are new approaches to understanding famous figures, such as Elizabeth I, James VI and I and his wife Anna of Denmark; Francis I; St. Teresa of Avila. Other chapters investigate topics such as militarism and court culture, and wider groups, such as urban citizens and noble families. The collection also studies ways in which gender and sexual orientation were represented in literature, as well as examinations of the theoretical issues involved in studying history from the angle of gender.

Louis XIV, the highly-feted “Sun King”, was renowned for his political and cultural influence and for raising France to a new level of prominence in seventeenth-century Europe. And yet, as Antonia Fraser keenly describes, he was equally legendary in the domestic sphere. Indeed, a panoply of women—his mother, Anne; mistresses such as Louise de la Vallière, Athénaïs de Montespan, and the puritanical Madame de Maintenon; and an array of courtesans—moved in and out of the court. The highly visible presence of these women raises many questions about their position in both Louis XIV’s life and in France at large. With careful research and vivid, engaging prose, Fraser makes the multifaceted life of one of the most famous European monarchs accessible and vibrantly current.
