| Description |
8vo. (4), 488 pp. Contemporary calf. Early edition (first, 1788). Daughter of the philandering Louis XV, Louise was drawn to religion at an early age. Her father however, intended her for a political marriage; it was only after refusing or being rejected for any such match that she was finally allowed to enter the Carmelite convent of St Denis in Paris in 1770, at the age of 33. She was elected prioress three times before her death in 1787. Proyart’s authoritiave biography drew upon recollections of the Princess’ closest friends, including Madame Elisabeth, her niece and the dedicatee of the present work. However, before completing his work Proyart was forced to flee the Revolution and hence published his work in Belgium. Incidentally, his work was published at just the time when the Assemblé Nationale ordered the exhumation of Louise’s coffin along with other members of the royal family, in order to use the lead for new canons Subjects: |
