Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madame De Lafayette and Her Family From the memoirs, real and fictitious, written in such profusion during the last days of Royal France, one is apt to form, in judging the character of the grande dame of that period, an erroneous estimate, and to forget that there existed other and nobler women than those celebrated for extravagance and intrigue: hundreds to whom the salons of Versailles were preferably terra incognita. Of this latter type was the wife of Lafayette. Aside from the prominent part she played, no woman of the Revolution possesses a more interesting personality than Adrienne de Noailles. "She was, wrote the Count de Segur, "a model of heroism. She was one of the few whose unsullied reputation received new lustre from the misfortunes of the Revolution." During the stormy days of the Terror the position of Mme. de Lafayette was one of extreme danger. Only the constant, frantic efforts of her friends and the repeated appeals of the American minister saved her from that tragic guillotine where, within the hour, mother, sister, and grandmother perished. Young and enthusiastic, she encouraged in Lafayette those republican tendencies which, bitterly opposed by their relatives, cost them at a later date so dearly. Stifling her heartache, she sped the husband on that hazardous voyage across distant seas to aid the great cause of liberty in far-off America - a land, as her quaint letters to Washington show, she always loved and longed to visit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constance Wright, whose Silver Collar Boy and A Chance for Glory have won her critical acclaim and a devoted audience here and abroad, has now written a fascinating biography of a patriot’s wife, Madame de Lafayette. With its delicate rendering of a woman’s emotion and a nation’s mood, this book will long be cherished both as a poignant narrative and as an unerring picture of a departed world. Adrienne de Noailles married the handsome Marquis de Lafayette in 1774, when she was fourteen and he but two years older. The marriage had been arranged by her parents, and neither the bride nor bridegroom could be said to have been in love. Yet in 1781, when Lafayette returned from fighting in the American Revolution, she was prepared to risk her life on his behalf. Adrienne’s deep love for Lafayette, and her spiritual devotion to the Church, sustained her during the dark days of the French Revolution and its nightmarish Reign of Terror. Lafayette, who had to flee Paris for his life, was arrested outside France. Then, “with streetwalkers and nuns, pickpockets and duchesses,” Adrienne was confined in a Paris prison. When she finally won her release, after several years of unimaginable horror, she sought and gained permission to live with her husband in his squalid Austrian cell. Constance Wright has drawn an inspiring portrait of a woman whose extraordinary faith places her among the true heroines of history. “This life story, with its background of the French revolutions, the harsh life of the titled captives, the horrors of the executions and the long, frustrating efforts to be free, is one of selfless dedication and pure motives that has a quiet glow.”—Kirkus Review
