Description
Description
Madame de Pompadour by Nancy Mitford is a vivid historical biography of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, the influential mistress, companion, and political confidante of King Louis XV of France. Written with Mitford’s elegant style and wit, the book brings eighteenth-century French court life to life through the story of one of its most fascinating women.
This Harper & Row, New York edition is the 1968 revised illustrated edition, not the 1954 first edition, making it a lovely choice for readers who appreciate historical biography with visual interest. The book explores Pompadour’s rise, intelligence, taste, patronage of the arts, and lasting influence at Versailles.
A strong choice for readers of French history, royal biography, women’s history, and vintage illustrated nonfiction, Madame de Pompadour is a collectible addition to any history, biography, or European studies shelf.
