Dans ce second et dernier volume, Maxime de La Rocheterie poursuit le portrait de Marie‑Antoinette, du faste contraignant aux heures d’épreuves, au cœur d’un royaume gagné par l’inquiétude.

With these words, Elizabeth Barrett Browning has come down to us as a romantic heroine, a recluse controlled by a domineering father and often overshadowed by her husband, Robert Browning.
