HILTON, LISA. Athenais: The Life Of Louis Xiv's Mistress, The Real Queen Of France.
Little, Brown and Company, Boston: 2002. 0316084905 / 9780316084901 First United States Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition.
Athenais de Montespan reigned as official mistress to Louis XIV during the most glorious period of "the splendid century." As lovely and charming as she was witty and cunning, Athenais quickly rose to far greater prominence than the King's own spouse. It was Madame de Montespan who was known as "the real Queen of France," the symbol of the apotheosis of French culture in the seventeenth century. As a lover, she ricked the disgrace of adultery to conduct an affair that scandalized Europe; as a patron, she supported many of the leaders of the cultural renaissance; as a mother, she is the ancestor of most of the royal houses of Europe. In this superb biography, Lisa Hamilton chronicles the life of this extraordinary woman. Includes an Index. "Lisa Hilton has rescued Athenais from her undeserving obscurity. Here she lies before us in all her glory - and pain - one of tghe most compelling women of her age." - Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire
