Memoirs of the Comtesse Du Barry With Minute Details of Her Entire Career as Favorite of Louis XV Written by Herself (Hardcover)

1908. This delightful and lively pseudonymous work was in fact written not by herself but by Baron Etienne Leon Lamothe-Langon. The persona created is that of a woman who always tells the truth as she sees it, but it is made clear to the reader that what the narrator sees is very seldom exactly the objective truth. The author ends as well as begins (in the middle of the action), thus creating an illusion of a slice of a journal but simultaneously giving the reader the uneasy feeling that the first and last chapters seem to be missing.
