| Summary | "Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Volume 1" by Mme. Campan is a historical memoir that provides a firsthand account of life at the French court during the reign of Louis XVI and the tumultuous period preceding the French Revolution. Written in the early 19th century, the book offers insight into the personal experiences and observations of its author, who served as the First Lady in Waiting to Marie Antoinette. The memoir covers key events surrounding the queen and highlights the intricacies of court life, the political environment, and societal issues of the time. In her memoir, Mme. Campan narrates her experiences at the court and provides a detailed depiction of Marie Antoinette, portraying her both as a queen and an individual facing immense challenges. The book presents anecdotes about various notable figures of the time, such as Louis XVI, and recounts events from the queen's marriage to the Dauphin up to the tensions leading to the revolution. Mme. Campan reflects on the misinterpretations and false narratives surrounding Marie Antoinette, who often struggled with the rigid etiquette and public scrutiny of the court. Through her personal observations, Campan seeks to humanize the queen, depicting her as kind-hearted yet vulnerable, while also illustrating the broader historical context of the monarchy's decline and the emerging revolutionary fervor in France.
