Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marie Antoinette The translation of this Life of Marie Antoinette has been a work of love and deep interest, and I cannot send it forth into the world without a few words of comment on the gifted authoress, Clara Tschudi, whose writings deserve to be known and appreciated in England. She is a strong, but genuinely womanly character - a distinct personality - with great charm of manner and power of language; of Swiss descent, but born in Tonsberg, the oldest town in Norway. The present monograph and that of Eugénie, Empress of the French, have been translated into German and Italian, and have met with marked success among readers of all classes. In addition to a diploma of merit, "Litteris et Artibus," with which Clara Tschudi alone among Swedish and Norwegian authoresses has been honoured, she has received a gold medal from Oscar II., in recognition of her valuable historical researches. Professor Kirkpatrick, of Edinburgh University, a lover of Norway and its literature, writes to me as follows: "I am glad to hear that you have translated Froken Clara Tschudi´s Marie Antoinette. Her Eugenie, which I read with great interest and reviewed favourably some years ago, seemed to me at the time well worthy of being translated into English; but her Marie Antoinette, which I have only dipped into as yet, is evidently a much more important work, and one of more enduring historical value. Her easy and pleasant style ought of itself to ensure her works a wide circulation. "Permit me to express my hearty wishes for the success of your translation. - J. K."
