Versailles in the 18th Century
In a recent issue of the TLS (17 June 2009), John Rogister – author of Louis XV and the Parlement of Paris, 1737–1755 – reviews two new books on Versailles: Tony Spawforth, Versailles: A Biography of a Palace (St Martin’s Press, 2008); and William Ritchey Newton, Derrière la Façade: Vivre au château de Versailles au XVIIIe siècle (Librairie Académique Perrin, 2008) – along with a new printing of the 1886 English translation of Madam Campan’s memoirs (the original French edition appeared in 1822).
