The Life of Marie Antoinette is a biography written by Charles Duke Yonge, chronicling the life of the famous queen of France. The book covers Marie Antoinette's life from her birth in Austria to her tragic death during the French Revolution. Throughout the book, Yonge explores Marie Antoinette's upbringing in the Austrian court, her marriage to Louis XVI of France, and her life as queen. He delves into the controversies and scandals that surrounded her, including her alleged affair with Count Axel von Fersen and her lavish spending habits.The book also covers Marie Antoinette's involvement in the French Revolution, including her imprisonment and eventual execution by guillotine. Yonge provides a detailed account of her final days, and the impact of her death on the French monarchy and the country as a whole.Overall, The Life of Marie Antoinette is a comprehensive and insightful biography of one of history's most fascinating figures. It provides a thorough examination of her life, her impact on France, and the events that led to her tragic end.Judgment and prudence were not the qualities most naturally to be expected in a young princess not yet fifteen years old. The best prospect which Marie Antoinette had of surmounting the numerous and varied difficulties which beset her lay in the affection which she speedily conceived for her husband, and in the sincerity, we can hardly say warmth, with which he returned her love. Maria Teresa had bespoken his tenderness for her in a letter which she wrote to him on the day on which her daughter left Vienna, and which has often been quoted as a composition worthy of her alike as a mother and as a Christian sovereign.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
