Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Hardback. Dorothea of Courland was intelligent, strikingly beautiful, proud to the point of arrogance, passionately loyal, a good friend and a relentless enemy. Although she was one of the most influential women of the nineteenth century, this is the first book to appear about her in English. Usually her name is coupled with that of her uncle, Prince Talleyrand, and it was popularly assumed that he was the father of her last child. From the time that she went with him to the Congress of Vienna until his death more than twenty years later she was Talleyrand's most constant companion and support. All her life Dorothea sought half-consciously for the perfect and complete relationship with another human being which her love for her uncle could not altogether provide. She never found it and in the quest earned an international reputation as a loose and wicked woman. it is for the reader to decide whether this reputation was deserved. Illustrated. 382 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
