Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a captivating 18th-century snapshot of the Parisian social elite, as seen through the scandalous love affairs of Adrien Lecouvreur, one of the most prominent actresses of the time. As an outsider to high society, Adrien uses her talent and cunning wit to navigate her position as a woman and an artist within the elite circles of her day. At the heart of this book lies the complex relationship between the public and private lives of women in the 18th century. The author explores the double standards, hypocrisies, and injustices that provide a backdrop for Adrien's performance on and off stage, and illuminates the delicate dance women had to perform in a society that both revered and exploited them. For lovers of costume dramas, tales of the 18th century, and revelations of scandalous love affairs, this book is a treasure trove of the triumphs and challenges of being a woman in 18th-century Paris.
