Reseña del libro "Rival French Courts: The Experiences of a Lady-In-Waiting at Sceaux, at Versailles, and in the Bastille (en Inglés)"
Rival French Courts is a fascinating memoir of life at the French royal court in the late 18th century. The book provides an insider's perspective on the courtly intrigues, rivalries and scandals that characterized this turbulent period in French history. The author, a lady-in-waiting to several prominent French noblewomen, offers vivid descriptions of the glittering balls, elaborate fashions, and lavish meals that were a hallmark of the court, as well as the darker side of court life, including the cruel and capricious treatment of prisoners in the Bastille.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
