Marie Antoinette was the wife of Louis XVI of France, the reigning King at the time of the French Revolution. Louis XVI's failure in running the country along with Marie Antoinette's unpopularity were central elements that led to the political climate at the end of the 19th century in France and ultimately would seal their own tragic demise and the end of the monarchy. Hilaire Belloc, a Frenchman himself who was raised in England, constructs an excellent biography of Marie Antoinette in this volume. Belloc's work spans from her birth to her trial and conviction for blocking the efforts at establishing a French democracy, the result of which ends with her tragic death on the guillotine. Belloc's work is an interesting and historical look at an important time for the country of France as seen through the life of its last Queen.… (plus d'informations)

Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (1870 - 1953) fue uno de los más prolíficos escritores de Inglaterra en los comienzos del siglo xx y célebre apologista católico. Con hombres tales como G. K. Chesterton, Belloc incursionó en lo que luego se llamaría el distributismo, un sistema económico-político basado en las enseñanzas sociales de la Iglesia católica y en la encíclica Rerum Novarum del Papa León XIII. Fue elegido miembro de la Cámara de los Comunes por el Partido Liberal, en 1906, del cual luego se desilusionó y abandonó, pero el pueblo no lo abandonó, ya que se postuló nuevamente como independiente, en 1910, y volvió a ser electo. Luego renunció, debido a su completa desilusión con el sistema de partidos y el sistema parlamentario que consideraba que no representaba a la sociedad.

Protagonista, junto a su marido de dos grandes injusticias —la de su condena a muerte y la de su imagen histórica— la reina María Antonieta es un personaje en que confluyen fuerzas históricas de tanta fuerza que la sobrepasan de principio a fin, aunque, precisamente, es en su fin donde haya la reina un poco de orientación. Puesto que, si en algún caso se cumple perfectamente el viejo adagio italiano de “un bel morir tuta la vita honora” es en el de la pareja real. ( )

This biography of Marie Antoinette, originally published in 1909, covers the entire life of the notorious French queen, but it focuses primarily on her interactions with the French court and her effect on the French populace. Belloc portrays her as an uneducated, ignorant girl who simply didn't comprehend the intricacies of the French court and didn't understand how negatively her naïve behavior would be perceived. Of course, the book also deals with the French Revolution as a whole, and Belloc analyses in minute detail the causes of the discontent in France and Marie Antoinette’s role in them. Ultimately, the book sets forth Belloc’s thesis that the French Revolution was a crisis necessary to revitalize a quickly decaying Europe.

This book is definitely not for the casual reader. Belloc’s style is academic and extremely dry; moreover, he has a very strong point of view that animates almost every page of his book. He takes the long view of history and is very interested in the ideological changes that made the French Revolution possible. Additionally, he is not (nor does he try to be) objective about the people and events he describes: he makes moral judgments about everyone and everything, which I actually found quite interesting. Nowadays historians strive for objectivity and attempt to describe past events without bias, or at least that’s the ideal. Apparently, such was not the case in 1909, and it was very interesting to see Belloc’s different approach. Nevertheless, I found this book a difficult read and would not recommend it.

Hilaire Belloc's biography of Marie Antoinette, published by Methuen in 1909, has an index notable for the length of some entries in relation to the amount of text referred to, while names are not expanded beyond the minimum used in the text; the highly judgmental quality of some headings; and the rather odd classifications of some topics, with dispersal of other entries between cross-references (consult 'Madame ...'):
