Buchan Telfer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of the Chevalier D'Eon, a prominent figure in 18th-century France whose ambiguous gender identity and roles as a diplomat and spy during intense political times create a fascinating narrative. The main focus is on D'Eon's unique career, including his secret correspondence for Louis XV and significant interactions within European courts. The opening of the account provides a detailed preface about Louis XV's secret correspondence and reveals D'Eon's early years, background, and training. Telfer sets the stage by discussing D'Eon's role as a secret agent for the King and foreshadows the extraordinary life awaiting the Chevalier. The narrative portrays D'Eon as a complex individual navigating a world that often constrained personal identity within rigid societal norms while simultaneously serving as an influential player in the geopolitical landscape of his time.
