C. Abbott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Maria Antoinette, focusing on her childhood, marriage, and the challenges she faced as the queen of France. It aims to present a faithful recounting of historical events, emphasizing themes of duty, adversity, and the moral lessons drawn from Maria Antoinette’s life. At the start of the book, the foundation for understanding Maria Antoinette’s life is laid through the exploration of her parentage and early childhood in Austria. The narrative describes her mother, Maria Theresa, as a strong, determined ruler who faced significant challenges during her reign, often placing the burdens of royalty above motherhood. Young Maria Antoinette is introduced as a lively and beautiful child, yet one who would eventually be thrust into the complexities of French nobility after her marriage to Louis XV's grandson—a connection primarily sought to strengthen political alliances. The beginning sets the stage for the tumultuous life that awaits her, marked by rapid changes as she transitions from an innocent girl to the queen of France amidst the court's intrigue and expectations.
