Meanwhile I stood by and, as I watched him, meditated on the thoughtlessness of his age, which seemed to me to contrast so strikingly with the anxieties of his royal parents, and the demeanour they were obliged to preserve in this cruel situation of theirs. Madame Elizabeth, who noticed the sad absorption with which I followed the movements of the young Prince, and read my thoughts, condescended to tell me so on the first opportunity, and was kind enough to thank me. The tender affection of this good princess for her imprisoned relatives, whose misfortunes she had determined to share, made her very observant and acute, so that she learnt to judge of the commissioners' humanity by their looks and conduct, and she was not too proud to encourage it in them by expressing her gratitude. At dinner, which was served in the King's room, I again saw the whole royal family, but under a new aspect. Their food was still excellent, and carefully prepared. The royal prisoners were most abstemious, the princesses and M. le Dauphin drinking nothing but water, of which the King mixed a great deal with his wine. At dessert he indulged in a single glass of sweet wine. His skill in carving meat was remarkable; and he showed this skill in various kinds of manual work, with which he had been in the habit of amusing himself in happier times. The royal family spoke little, for reserve was forced upon them by the presence of the commissioners. As for me, the part I had undertaken to play was torture to me, for I reflected bitterly that I too was contributing to the restraint to which this august family was subjected even at their meals. 1 It was during one of these walks that Leqnenx, an architect of some repute, took the very interesting sketch that faces p....

This compelling book begins on the 2nd of August 1793, the day Marie Antoinette was torn from her family’s arms and escorted from the Temple to the Conciergerie, a thick-walled fortress turned prison. It was also known as the “waiting room for the guillotine” because prisoners only spent a day or two here before their conviction and subsequent execution. The ex-queen surely knew her days were numbered, but she could never have known that two and a half months would pass before she would finally stand trial and be convicted of the most ungodly charges. Will Bashor traces the final days of the prisoner registered only as Widow Capet, No. 280, a time that was a cruel mixture of grandeur, humiliation, and terror. Marie Antoinette’s reign amidst the splendors of the court of Versailles is a familiar story, but her final imprisonment in a fetid, dank dungeon is a little-known coda to a once-charmed life. Her seventy-six days in this terrifying prison can only be described as the darkest and most horrific of the fallen queen’s life, vividly recaptured in this richly researched history.

Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries for the daring in style and fashion that she brought to 18th century France. For the better part of the queen’s reign, one man was entrusted with the sole responsibility of ensuring that her coiffure was at its most ostentatious best. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen’s affairs? Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Scholarship, Marie Antoinette’s Head: The Royal Hairdresser, The Queen, and the Revolution charts the rise of Leonard Autie from humble origins as a country barber in the south of France to the inventor of the Pouf and premier hairdresser to Queen Marie-Antoinette. By unearthing a variety of sources from the 18th and 19th centuries, including memoirs (including Léonard’s own), court documents, and archived periodicals the author, French History professor and expert Will Bashor, tells Autie’s mostly unknown story. Bashor chronicles Leonard’s story, the role he played in the life of his most famous client, and the chaotic and history-making world in which he rose to prominence. Besides his proximity to the queen, Leonard also had a most fascinating life filled with sex (he was the only man in a female dominated court), seduction, intrigue, espionage, theft, exile, treason, and possibly, execution.

Marie Antoinette has always fascinated readers worldwide. Yet perhaps no one knew her better than one of her closest confidantes, Marie Thérèse, the Princess de Lamballe. The Princess became superintendent of the Queens household in 1774, and through her relationship with Marie Antoinette, a unique perspective of the lavishness and daily intrigue at Versailles is exposed. Born into the famous House of Savoy in Turin, Italy, Marie Thérèse was married at the age of seventeen to the Prince de Lamballe; heir to one of the richest fortunes in France. He transported her to the gold-leafed and glittering chandeliered halls of the Château de Versailles, where she soon found herself immersed in the political and sexual scandals that surrounded the royal court. As the plotters and planners of Versailles sought, at all costs, to gain the favor of Louis XVI and his Queen, the Princess de Lamballe was there to witness it all. This book reveals the Princess de Lamballes version of these events and is based on a wide variety of historical sources, helping to capture the waning days and grisly demise of the French monarchy. The story immerses you in a world of titillating sexual rumors, bloodthirsty revolutionaries, and hair-raising escape attempts and is a must read for anyone interested in Marie Antoinette, the origins of the French Revolution, or life in the late 18th Century.

In Search of Marie-Antoinette in the 1930s follows Austrian biographer Stefan Zweig, American producer Irving Thalberg, and Canadian-American actress Norma Shearer as they attempt to uncover personal aspects of Marie-Antoinette’s life at the French court in the late eighteenth-century and to dramatize them in biography, cinema, and performance for public consumption during the 1930s. The first chapter establishes the core subject as an inquiry into the respective contributions of Zweig, Thalberg, and Shearer in formulating an “objective” or “authentic” image of “Marie-Antoinette.” The three chapters that follow examine in some detail how Zweig pursued research and drafted the psychological biography at his Salzburg home, Thalberg acquired film rights to the best-selling book and fought the censors to preserve the more sensational aspects of the screenplay at the Culver City studio, and Shearer worked closely with a new producer to give the script a strong romantic angle and to perform the character of the queen on the sound stage. The professionals’ research standards and strategic objectives are weighed in the formulation of a new myth at once sensitive to the historical record and suited to the leisure market.

Excerpt from The Last Days of Marie Antoinette This is not a new book about Marie Antoinette: it is a recapitulation, an almost daily record, of the life led by the prisoner in Les Feuillants, the Temple, and the Conciergerie;a collection of notes whose chief merit is their absolute authenticity. Nothing has been included but the narratives of eyewitnesses: of those who, on one ground or another, were admitted to the Queens presence during the period between the 10th August, 1792, and the 16th October, 1793. These were neither gentlemen of the Court nor official historiographers. The Dangeau and the Saint-Simon of these dark days were a gaoler's wife, a menial of the pantry, an upholsterer, a servant-girl, a gendarme, a sweeper - witnesses, that is to say, whose style does not aim at any great elegance. But I think their rugged sincerity will strike us as being more impressive than the poetical and pompous redundancies of the official writers of the Restoration. "Marie Antoinette's life in the Temple belongs to History," says M. Wallon; "the reader does not wish such a subject to be quickly passed over: he is greedy of details and likes to dwell on them, because, in the face of so striking an example of the instability of human affairs, his emotions are as great as the misfortunes that call them forth." The amazing contrast between the Queen's first years, between the dreamlike life at Schoenbrunn and Versailles, and her overwhelming sorrows, is enough to move the most callous heart.
