Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
These poems have been called 'the most moving and intimate of all royal autobiographical writing', but perhaps that is to be expected from a woman who refused to act as she was supposed. This is the first time that all of her poems have been published, and they have been translated into modern English, are printed next to the original French or Latin where relevant, and come with historical notes to explain the background. The result is a tragic journey through many loves and strong convictions to ultimate doom. A fascinating collection. (Kirkus UK)
