Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates Louis XVIIâ"a figure shrouded in both historical obscurity and fabricationâ"through the lens of the author's lifelong fascination. Countering the popular idea that Louis died in prison, the author analyzes the numerous theories of the lost Dauphin's fate. Primary among these is the assertion that an adult claiming to be Louis XVII, who appeared in 1833, was the legitimate heir who survived the French Revolution. The author attempts to separate fact from fiction by exploring the evidence for and against this theory. The book places the Dauphin within the context of the French Revolution and the European political landscape. It also discusses the broader implications of the case of Louis XVII and similar stories of mistaken identity, highlighting the pervasive human desire for closure in the face of loss, tragedy, and political unrest. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo. xx, 102, [6] pp. In the publisher's stiff card wraps, ink-stamped to front board and spine. Inscribed "To Ma." by the author to title page. The largely-ignored book of the noted litigant and amateur soprano of the Victorian era, Georgina Weldon, which came about through her association with the descendants of Karl Wilhelm Naundorff, one of a number of pretenders who claimed to be Louis XVII of France. She enjoyed a colourful life which included having a lunacy order against her, two spells in prison and a constant stream of litigation (by 1900 she had brought over a hundred cases to court) which she always conducted herself without counsel, becoming known as the "Portia of the Law Courts". On the musical side, her singing career benefitted from a "close association" with Charles Gounod who came to live with her and her husband at Tavistock House in Bloomsbury whilst working on his opera "Polyeucte". Rumours of the affair drove him back to Paris and his wife, whereupon Georgina refused to send on his personal belongings, including the draft of his opera. Only when he had virtually reconstructed the musical score, nearly a year later, did she return the original draft to him with her name scrawled diagonally across each page in crayon.
