Marie-Antoinette's Legacy
Challenging the established historiography that frames the French picturesque garden movement as an international style, this book contends that the French picturesque gardens from 1775 until 1867 functioned as liminal zones at the epicenter of court patronage systems.

Marie-Antoinette : the making of a French queen
A new look which fundamentally overturns our understanding of this famously \"out of touch\" queen. Who was the real Marie-Antoinette? She was mistrusted and reviled in her own time, and today she is portrayed as a lightweight incapable of understanding the events that engulfed her. In this new account, John Hardman redresses the balance and sheds fresh light on Marie-Antoinette's story. Hardman shows how Marie-Antoinette played a significant but misunderstood role in the crisis of the monarchy. Drawing on new sources, he describes how, from the outset, Marie-Antoinette refused to prioritize the aggressive foreign policy of her mother, Maria-Theresa, bravely took over the helm from Louis XVI after the collapse of his morale, and, when revolution broke out, listened to the Third Estate and worked closely with repentant radicals to give the constitutional monarchy a fighting chance. For the first time, Hardman demonstrates exactly what influence Marie-Antoinette had and when and how she exerted it.

THREE QUEENS
A FILM ABOUT Marie Antoinette that stops short of the Revolution and leaves out the Diamond Necklace Affair. Impossible! Yet that is what writer-director Sofia Coppola has done in the first American film about the tragic queen since the 1938 MGM biopic. This new Marie Antoinette begins with her marriage at fourteen to the heir to the throne of France the Dauphin Louis August-- and concludes with the mob marching to Versailles and taking the royal family back to Paris.
