The Prison Life of Marie Antoinette: And Her Children, the Dauphin, and the Duchess D'Angouleme (1894)

Maria Catherine Bishop

The Prison Life of Marie Antoinette: And Her Children, The Dauphin, and The Duchess D'Angouleme is a historical account of the imprisonment of the former queen of France, Marie Antoinette, and her children during the French Revolution. Written by Maria Catherine Bishop and first published in 1894, the book provides a detailed description of the conditions in which the royal family was held captive in the Temple prison, including their daily routines, interactions with guards and visitors, and the physical and emotional toll of their confinement. The book also explores the political and social context of the time, including the events leading up to the revolution and the role of the monarchy in French society. Through personal letters and other primary sources, Bishop offers a unique perspective on the life of Marie Antoinette and her family during their final months, as they faced trial and execution. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in French history, the revolution, and the life of Marie Antoinette.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
