The essays in this volume show that Versailles was not the static
creation of one man, but a hugely complex cultural space; a centre
of power, but also of life, love, anxiety, creation, and an
enduring palimpsest of aspirations, desires, and ruptures. The
splendour of the Château and the masterpieces of art and design
that it contains mask a more complex and sometimes more sordid
history of human struggle and achievement. The case studies
presented by the contributors to this book cannot provide a
comprehensive account of the Palace of Versailles and its domains,
the life within its walls, its visitors, and the art and
architecture that it has inspired from the seventeenth century to
the present day: from the palace of the Sun King to the Penthouse
of Donald Trump. However, this innovative collection will
reshape—or even radically redefine—our understanding of the
palace of Versailles and its posterity.
