«La Reina Desalmada», with the subtitle «María Antonieta en los panfletos», is the historical essay by Chantal Thomas in paperback.
Chantal Thomas reconstructs how Marie Antoinette was represented in the pamphlets and the images of her time. Far from a biography, this essay studies the creation of the black legend of the queen, turned into a scapegoat for the French monarchy and into a symbol of the exclusion of women in pre-revolutionary society.
The French original was published in 1989 as «La reine scélérate: Marie-Antoinette dans les pamphlets». The Spanish edition appeared in 1996.
For readers interested in the history of France, the French Revolution and the construction of the public image of Marie Antoinette.
Chantal Thomas is a French writer and historian. Her 2002 book, Farewell, My Queen, won the Prix Femina and was adapted into a 2012 film starring Diane Kruger and Léa Seydoux.
