The life of Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) was marked by contrast and heartbreak. Daughter of Emperor Francis I of Austria, she was sent to Paris to marry Louis XVI. However, Marie Antoinette soon gained a reputation for being frivolous and fond of political intrigue, which sparked rumors and discontent among the French. Her tragic death at the guillotine in 1793 turned her into a myth. This biography by Antonia Fraser offers a new perspective on Marie Antoinette, eliminating the aura of myth and contrasting varied documentation to reveal the authentic Marie Antoinette.
Lady Antonia Margaret Caroline Fraser is a British author of history, novels, biographies and detective fiction.
