Synopsis

The book ""Lectures Of Lola Montez Countess Of Landsfeld Including Her Autobiography"" is a collection of lectures and personal writings by Lola Montez, a famous dancer and courtesan of the 19th century. The book includes her autobiography, which details her life and career, as well as her thoughts on various topics such as politics, religion, and women's rights. Montez was known for her scandalous behavior and her relationships with powerful men, including King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Her lectures, which she gave throughout Europe and the United States, were often controversial and provocative, and this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a woman who defied societal norms and expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Let Lola Montez have credit for her talents, intelligence, and her support of popular rights. As a political character, she held, until her retirement from Switzerland, an important position in Bavaria and Germany, besides having agents and correspondents in various parts of Europe. On foreign politics she has clear ideas, and has been treated by the political men of the country as a substantive power. She always kept state secrets, and could be consulted in safety in cases in which her original habits of thought rendered her of service. Acting under her advice, the king had pledged himself to a course of steady improvement to the people. Although she wielded so much power, it is alleged that she never used it for the promotion of unworthy persons, or, as other favorites have done, for corrupt purposes; and there is reason to believe that political feeling influenced her course, not sordid considerations.
