Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Complete
Being the Historic Memoirs of Madam Campan, First Lady in Waiting to the Queen
Madame Campan entered the French court as a reader to the daughters of Louis XV and became first lady of the bedchamber to Marie Antoinette, a post she held from the queen's early years at Versailles until the fall of the monarchy in 1792. Her memoirs, published in 1823 after her death, describe the etiquette of the royal household, the affair of the diamond necklace, the flight to Varennes and the storming of the Tuileries from the point of view of a woman who was in the room. She is loyal to the queen but not uncritical. This complete edition includes a memoir of Madame Campan herself and the two books of her recollections. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
