<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of America's foremost writers of literary nonfiction brings us one of history's most misunderstood figures, Marie Antoinette. "An extraordinary life . . . Ms. Erickson gives us a likable, empathetic woman and broadens our understanding of her".--The New York Times Book Review.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One of history's most misunderstood figures, Marie Antoinette represents the extravagance and the decadence of pre-Revolution France. Yet there was an innocence about Antoinette, thrust as a child into the chillingly formal French court. <p/>Married to the maladroit, ill-mannered Dauphin, Antoinette found pleasure in costly entertainments and garments. She spent lavishly while her overtaxed and increasingly hostile subjects blamed her for France's plight. In time Antoinette matured into a courageous Queen, and when their enemies finally closed in, Antoinette followed her inept husband to the guillotine in one last act of bravery. <p/>In <i>To the Scaffold</i>, Carolly Erickson provides an estimation of a lost Queen that is psychologically acute, richly detailed, and deeply moving.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Carolly Erickson brings [an] immediacy and easy intimacy to her study." --<i>Los Angeles Times Book Review</i> <p/>"For lovers of history or lovers of a great romantic story, this book is a must." --<i>Louisville Courier-Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Distinguished historian <b>Carolly Erickson</b> is the author of <i>Rival to the Queen</i>, <i>The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots</i>, <i>The First Elizabeth</i>, <i>The Hidden Life of Josephine</i>, <i>The Last Wife of Henry VIII, </i> and many other prize-winning works of fiction and nonfiction.
