Memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino (Afterwards Duchesse de Talleyrand et de Sagan), 1836-1840
These memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino cover the years 1836 to 1840. Dorothea of Courland had married Talleyrand's nephew and became the old statesman's companion, hostess and confidante for the last quarter century of his life, and this volume of her journal records his final years at Valençay and in Paris, the long negotiation over his reconciliation with the church, and his death in May 1838. Around that center she notes the politics of Louis-Philippe's France, the affairs of Spain and England, and the talk of the salons, with portraits of ministers, diplomats and friends. Her judgments are quick and often severe. The journal was published by her granddaughter decades after her death.
