Reviews

"Employing a wide range of archival sources and covering a large portion of Lamballe’s life and oeuvre, Grant creates a full and complex picture of the princess. She successfully illustrates that Lamballe has been both under- and misrepresented and that Lamballe was a significant member of court. Grant’s detailed accounting sheds new light on not only Lamballe and her magnificent collections, but also on the women of Marie-Antoinette’s circle, their relationships, and how art functioned in their court."--H-France Review
