Campan is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume provides a detailed glimpse into the inner workings of the French court during the reign of Louis XVI, focusing on Marie Antoinette's experiences and challenges as queen, as well as key events and personalities of the time. The memoir illustrates the complexities of Marie Antoinette's life, including her relationships, the intrigues at court, and her efforts to navigate her position amidst the French Revolution's growing unrest. The opening of this volume reveals several significant aspects of court life during the early years of Louis XVI's reign. It includes the king's examination of historical documents, addressing inquiries about the enigmatic "man in the iron mask," and highlights Marie Antoinette's growing influence over her husband, the king's initial indifference and later affection towards her, as well as her efforts to support the daughters of Louis XV. Additionally, the chapter explores early public perceptions of the Queen, including her popularity at playhouse performances, her devotion to the care of her household staff's children, and the criticisms and rivalry she faced—particularly stemming from her Austrian heritage. The narrative sets the stage for understanding the evolving dynamics of power, public sentiment, and personal relationships within the tumultuous atmosphere leading up to the French Revolution.
