Love And Louis XIV - The Women In The Life Of The Sun King - Thryft
Love And Louis XIV - The Women In The Life Of The Sun King - Thryft

Life and loves of Louis XIV.

This book would be a great read for history enthusiasts who are particularly interested in Louis XIV, but want a different take on the subject matter. Fraser does an incredible job of shining a light on the world of politics and power through Louis XIV's personal relationships. The book is notable for its depth, detail, and incredible research.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Louis XIV, the highly-feted “Sun King”, was renowned for his political and cultural influence and for raising France to a new level of prominence in seventeenth-century Europe. And yet, as Antonia Fraser keenly describes, he was equally legendary in the domestic sphere. Indeed, a panoply of women—his mother, Anne; mistresses such as Louise de la Vallière, Athénaïs de Montespan, and the puritanical Madame de Maintenon; and an array of courtesans—moved in and out of the court. The highly visible presence of these women raises many questions about their position in both Louis XIV’s life and in France at large. With careful research and vivid, engaging prose, Fraser makes the multifaceted life of one of the most famous European monarchs accessible and vibrantly current.
