In one of the earliest memoirs of the young Queen of France, Jeanne
Louise Henriette Campan - Marie Antoinette's First Lady-in-Waiting
and one of her closest and most faithful attendants - paints a
dramatic portrait of the queen's personal and political
relationship with King Louis XVI of France. First published in two
volumes in 1823, this memoir is presented against the backdrop of
the French court as it weakened in the madness of an impending
revolution. In intricate detail, Campan passionately defends Marie
Antoinette's pride and honour in the face of hateful propaganda
against her - propaganda that has continued to haunt her even to
this day. Honest, touching and compelling, Campan's The Private
Life of Marie Antoinette provides a unique insight into the life of
one of history's most beguiling women.
