During The Reign Of Terror: Journal Of My Life During The French Revolution by Grace Dalrymple Elliott. This English-language memoir recounts Elliott's experiences in Paris and elsewhere during the French Revolution, including her intimate connection with the Duke of Orléans (Philippe Égalité), her observations of political events from the Bastille to the Federation, and her perilous efforts to aid royalists such as the Marquis de Chansenets. The narrative covers life at court, the fall of the monarchy, the execution of Louis XVI, and the brutal conditions of revolutionary prisons such as the Carmes and the Recollets, as Elliott sustains herself through adversity with resilience and faith. The work provides a personal perspective on both intimate relationships at court and the broader upheavals of late 18th-century France, accompanied by an introduction and notes by E. Jules Méras. Published originally in 1910, it remains a detailed account of survival and loyalty during one of history's most turbulent eras.
