Marie-Antoinette (Biographie (8514))

This biography delves deeply into her personal life and struggles, but I'm curious what motivated that approach instead of a purely political history.

I always thought of her as a symbol of excess, but this book made me see her more as a person caught in impossible circumstances. How did others experience her character?

There are so many accounts from different perspectives—what do you think led to the selection of the sources used, and how did that shape the narrative?
