Product Information

Excerpt from Queen Hortense and Her Friends, Vol. 1 of 2: 1783-1837 In these volumes I have attempted to paint, upon the shifting background of her times, a picture of Hortense de Beauharnais, Queen of Holland and Duchesse de Saint-Leu, which should be neither the work of a partisan r of an enemy, neither unduly favourable r unnecessarily harsh. The judgments formed upon the artiste-reine at times when political feeling ran high have been t unnaturally coloured by prejudice and passion. u Some, says M. Nauroy, have made a goddess of her, others have t been able to forgive her Napoleon III. The daughter of Josephine, and still more the mother of the Emperor, could scarcely expect an unbiassed verdict, and if the voice of the flatterer was t dumb in days when the Beauharnais cult was dominant, the animosities of party hatred have t failed to make the balance even. There are those, indeed, who would grudge her so much as the claim to compassion supplied by her sorrows.
