| Summary: | "With the dismissive epigram 'Not tonight, Josephine', history has relegated Napoleon's empress to the role of mere boudoir distraction. Bedazzled by her more famous husband, biographers have neglected Josephine's own life story - a story that encompassed Caribbean slave revolts, arranged marriage, revolutionary politics and the threat of the guillotine, before she even met the man whose historical shadow all but obliterated her own." "Andrea Stuart's biography reclaims Josephine as a woman whose intelligence, strength and wit secured her safety and her legacy in European cultural history. It shows a Caribbean woman of aristocratic but ambiguous racial descent plotting a path through the terrors of revolutionary France and the sexual politics of its aftermath. It also paints a powerful picture of the creative, violent times in which she lived, and of a Paris which raged and fought and danced through the turbulence of revolution and empire."--BOOK JACKET. |
