A new look which fundamentally overturns our understanding of this famously "out of touch" queenPresents [MarieAntoinette] as much more than a symbol whose meaning is in the eye of her beholder . . . neither martyr nor voluptuary but rather a serious participant in politics.Lynn Hunt, New York Review of BooksSplendid. . . . Masterly. . . . A wonderfully gripping biography.Allan Massie, Wall Street JournalNamed a Book of the Year (2020) by The SpectatorWho was the real MarieAntoinette? She was mistrusted and reviled in her own time, and today she is portrayed as a lightweight incapable of understanding the events that engulfed her. In this new account, John Hardman redresses the balance and sheds fresh light on MarieAntoinettes story.Hardman shows how MarieAntoinette played a significant but misunderstood role in the crisis of the monarchy. Drawing on new sources, he describes how, from the outset, MarieAntoinette refused to prioritize the aggressive foreign policy of her mother, MariaTheresa, bravely took over the helm from Louis XVI after the collapse of his morale, and, when revolution broke out, listened to the Third Estate and worked closely with repentant radicals to give the constitutional monarchy a fighting chance. For the first time, Hardman demonstrates exactly what influence MarieAntoinette had and when and how she exerted it.
