We have been told a dozen times the story of Julie de Lespinasse and her love-affairs, of Madame de Sta?l and the victims of her amatory experiments, of Lauzun, Fersen, and Lafayette; yet one of the greatest romances of this enthralling period, the love-story of the Chevalier de Boufflers and the Comtesse de Sabran, has been allowed to pass into oblivion. Theirs was the ?grande passion? of the times, ?they loved each other, ? says Monsieur Victor du Bled, ?with a deep love, so different to the liaisons ? la mode, with a love such as we understand it we of today. Besides reconstructing the story, the author has endeavoured to reconstruct the background on which it was enacted?the Revolutionary Era. The French Revolution has been persistently misrepresented, and in consequence a host of popular delusions have grown up around it which must be dispelled if one would present fairly the point of view of those who played their part in that amazing drama.
This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.
