`Dear sister!' said Charles IX, `there is blood on your sleeve!'
`And what consequence is that, Sire,' said Marguerite, `if I have a
smile upon my lips?' Saint Bartholomew's Day 1572. Paris is awash
with the blood of Huguenots slaughtered by order of Charles IX. Or
perhaps of Catherine de Medicis, one of history's great monsters?
Or the ambitious Duke de Guise? Or the Duke d'Anjou, soon to be the
reluctant King of Poland? The answer will be found in the secret
passageways of the Louvre and the torture chamber of the fortress
of Vincennes. It takes an iron nerve and a cool head to survive.
Young Henry of Navarre has both in abundance, but he has more: he
has his Queen, the beautiful, cultured Margot. Staking all on love
and losing, she remains defiant in defeat. La Reine Margot (1845)
is a novel of suspense and drama which recreates the violent world
of intrigue, murder and duplicity of the French Renaissance. Dumas
fills his canvas with a gallery of unforgettable characters,
unremitting action and the engaging generosity of spirit which has
made him one of the world's greatest and best-loved story-tellers.
This revised edition of the classic translation of 1846 is richly
annotated. An introduction sets Dumas and his work in their
literary, historical and cultural context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For
over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the
widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable
volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the
most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,
including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful
