I am, in fact, writing a book set in the court of Louis XVI. You can imagine my delight when I was informed about the pending release of Ms. Thomas's book. I had hoped her book would provide many examples of libel against the queen. I was hoping this book would detail who wrote what and when. I found this book to be an excuse to print a lot of nasty words. Ms. Thomas's views, while educated, were tired and repeated over and over again. Nothing in this book was thought-provoking or fresh. It did not illuminate or entertain. Very little was devoted to the effects of the words against the queen. How did this effect MA emotionally, physically? What did it do to the marriage of the King and Queen? What were the long-term impacts of these libelous ditty's? How did they effect journalism as we know it today? How did they contribute to the Revolution? All in all, a disappointment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a *by E***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2018* Thanks! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ From saint to sinner, à la the press *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2009* "The Wicked Queen" by Chantal Thomas is a thoughtful, well-researched book that explores the role of the queen in France, as well as how -- through the power of the propaganda hate machine -- the public image of Marie Antoinette was morphed from the sweet, fresh-faced Dauphine that the people adored upon her arrival in France; to the sexually deviant, murderous queen they accused her of being as the revolution took hold.As a bonus, in the back of the book are a handful of the original pamphlets of the day, fully translated into English. These are quite interesting, as I've always wanted to read some of the unedited, infamous pieces of propaganda (some of which are often referenced in various biographies of Marie Antoinette). One can almost feel the sadistic glee infused into the writing, which was specifically crafted to tap into the public's rage and despair over the prevailing social order, using one woman as a scape-goat for all evils. As such, the pamphlets' content is quite crude and blunt . . . so if you're not keen on reading the disgusting specifics of the accusations hurled at the queen, you may easily skip that section of the book. (It's pretty much a separate entity, buried behind Author's Notes, etc.)All in all, if you're interested in the origins of the generally accepted -- and mostly false -- pop-culture image of Marie Antoinette (as the unsympathetic tart who flippantly proclaims "Let them eat cake!") . . . I definitely recommend this book for an informative read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9891824-the-wicked-queen-the-origins-of-the-myth-of-marie](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9891824-the-wicked-queen-the-origins-of-the-myth-of-marie) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
