Synopsis
Autobiography, A Collection Of The Most Instructive And Amusing Lives Ever Published by Madame du Barri. Memoirs of Madame du Barri presents a first-person chronicle of the life at the court of Louis XV, focusing on the infamous and influential Madame du Barri, a celebrated mistress and power broker at Versailles. The work surveys the French aristocracy’s intrigues, alliances, and rivalries, from the salons of the royal residence to the political machinations of ministers and parvenus. It recounts encounters with eminent figures such as Beaumarchais, Voltaire, Diderot, and the Maupeou government, as well as episodes surrounding the Parc aux Cerfs, circulating rumours, dowries, lettres de cachet, and courtly alliances. The narrative blends intimate personal drama—romance, jealousy, and ambition—with sharp observations on court politics, patronage, and the mechanisms of power in late 18th-century France. It culminates in the illness and death of Louis XV and the upheavals that followed, offering a vivid, if controversial, portrait of a remarkable era and its influential women.
