About this book
Written by the trusted lady-in-waiting who served Marie Antoinette for years, these memoirs offer an intimate eyewitness portrait of the doomed French queen and the glittering, doomed world of Versailles on the eve of revolution. Madame Campan records court intrigue, private conversations, and the personal grace and tragic downfall of a queen who went from dazzling splendor to the guillotine. Sympathetic and richly detailed, the memoirs remain one of the most important firsthand sources on Marie Antoinette and the last days of the French monarchy. Fascinating and poignant, they bring the drama of the French Revolution vividly and personally to life.
