About this book
The Comtesse Du Barry seems to speak in these memoirs, which follow her rise as favourite of Louis XV, from an invitation to supper with the king to her arrival at Versailles and the court figures around her, among them the dukes of Richelieu, Aiguillon and Choiseul. She did not write them. Baron Etienne Leon Lamothe-Langon (1786-1864) composed them under her name, and the story begins and ends in the middle of events. Robert Arnot adds a special introduction, and 46 chapters carry detailed summaries.
