Presenting a sympathetic portrait of this beautiful, shallow and
tragic Queen, Dunlop tells of the jubilant crowds which greeted her
on her marriage to the Dauphin in 1773 and how, 20 years later she
would appear before another exited crowd, this time baying for her
blood. She was accused of adultery, despoiling the public purse and
of being the arch-villain of the Old Regime. Her execution was met
with delirious joy. Relying largely upon the words of
Marie-Antoinette and her contemporaries, Dunlop tells of a child
bride, a foolish and giddy 18-year-old Queen of France, spoilt and
selfish but showing remarkable and unexpected courage and depth of
character in the face of a crisis.
