Hardback. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Edition. The royal mistress was an institution in France during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV, and Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764) was the most impressive and creative of them all. This is the rags-to-riches story of how she used all she had to achieve independence at a time when women had no status or rights. Jeanne Antoinette Poisson was born into a bourgeoise family and was probably illegitimate. However, a fortune teller predicted that Jeanne would win the heart of a king. In 1741 she married Le normant d'Etoiles and, in 1745, found herself dancing with Louis XV at a masked ball. The affair that was to scandalize the aristocracy (Jeanne was the first royal mistress from the middle classes) began soon after. An extinct title was resurrected for her and, as Madame de Pompadour, Jeanne dedicated the rest of her life to Louis XV, even resorting to weird and wonderful diets to stimulate better sex (which she did not enjoy). When the affair transformed into friendship, she entertained the King by staging amateur theatricals and even helped to procure her successors.She was a patron of the arts, supporting the development of Sevres porcelain, but could not resist entering the power game - with mixed results. Her attempt to control the Seven Years War was a failure, but her successes include the Ecole Militaire. Though she would never have recognized herself as a feminist, the author asserts that Madame de Pompadour was one of its earliest exponents - using the only means of power available to her: sex. Her life reveals the extent and limitations of women's status power in the 18th century. This copy is in FINE condition in a FINE unclipped dustwrapper.

Dustwrapper clean and bright. ***242 mm x162 mm. 186 pages including notes on sources, select bibliography and appendices and index to the rear. ***'In 1730 nine-year-old Jeanne-Antoinette de La Mote was taken to see a fortune-teller: the child, prophesied Madame Lebon, would become mistress to the king. It was an extraordinary suggestion for the daughter of a femme galante with a doubtful reputation but the child became Madame de Pompadour, lover of Louis XV, and for nearly twenty years her life was dedicated solely to serving the king. ***Madame de Pompadour was born in 1721. Though beautiful and vivacious, with her father exiled in disgrace after the fall of the Regent, her outlook seemed unpromising. But Le Normant de Torunehem, a successful 'friend' of her mother, saw her potential, and arranged for her to become cultured and educated in the ways of society. Soon she was welcome at the salons of the famous. Then, reputedly at a ball, she met the king. Within months she was installed at Versailles. ***Though now Maitresse en titre, Pompadour was shrewd enough to understand that there were many only too willing to step into her place, and others who still despised her. Quickly, she taught herself not only to serve the king's wishes, but to survive the intricacies of court life. She established the Theatre des Petits Cabinets, with herself in the leading roles, acquired country houses - at Crecy and elsewhere - where she and the king could enjoy a more informal life, and became an important patron of the arts, commissioning paintings by Boucher and many other artists and promoting the work of the Sevres porcelain factory. In matters of state too she was all-important. She used her influence to promote or destroy careers of ministers. She was instrumental in the founding of the Ecole Militaire, and attempted to direct the course of France's involvement in the Seven Years War. ***Such extravagance and power also brought criticism. Yet, although she was eventually replaced as mistress, the king remained fond of her and when she died at Versailles, in 1764, she was buried with the honours of a duchess, eighteen horsemen escorting the hearse which was drawn by twelve horses caparisoned in silver. As the cortege passed him, Louis is said to have wept. ***This engagingly written biography of Madame de Pompadour, the first in English for over thirty years, vividly recreates the life of one of the most enigmatic and powerful women of her time. Set against a background of the politics and culture of pre-Revolutionary France, it reveals both the limitations and the extent of status and power open to women in the eighteenth century Europe.' ***'Margaret Crosland has been a freelance writer and translator since the 1950s. She has written several previous books, the most recent of which are Simone de Beauvoir (Heinemann, 1992) which won the Enid MacLeod Literary Prize, and The Enigma of Giorgio de Chirico (Peter Owen, 1999). Her earlier biography of Colette won the Prix Bourgogne. She lives in Sussex.'
