Books on the Habsburgs

[Eric_Lowe]

Very much so ! It brings out the Hapsburg branch that was interested in Poland. Two of Wilhelm's sisters married Polish Princes (one being Radziwill) and a third married a commoner. The Red Prince  here was also gay....

One of the most interesting book on a Hapsburg to come out in awhile.

Yes the letters were translated and published in English. I have seen it on Amazon and some second hard bookstores.

Here's one  link I found online and can be downloaded free on Count Mercy in Paris... There are extracts of letters in here, together with background information on what had happened. Hope this helps a bit... enjoy!

I think Olivier Bernier edited an edition. I bought that one for my collection.

[nom de plume]

The best collection of Marie Antoinette's letters that I have come across to date was written in French: Evelyne Lever's Marie Antoinette: Correspondance (1770 - 1793).  It includes letters written by Maria Theresa and the Comte de Mercy as well as annotations by the erudite and astute Lever.  Lever also wrote a biography of Marie Antoinette which contains quotes from the letters and has been translated into English.

[Eric_Lowe]

Is the Lever book available in English ?

I believe not.
