Marie France
how did marie antoinette help cause France to go into debt?
what are specific things she did?
i know she spent a lot of money, but on what?
The expenses of the Royal Family were not what drove the country into debt and toward revolution. [My books are all in storage so I can't look up the exact percentage of the debt that they comprised. Perhaps someone else on this forum can provide the exact figures.] Those pushing for revolution used something called “The Affair of the Necklace” to further ridicule Marie Antoinette. This was an elaborate con to get a high level cardinal to purchase an expensive necklace, presumably for the Queen. When the con was revealed it was a huge scandal. I have provided a link to the Wikipedia article.
The main debt that contributed to the French Revolution was the debt incurred by helping the American revolutionaries win the war against Great Britain.

The Anonymous Marie de France $30 This book by one of our most admired and influential medievalists offers a fundamental reconception of the person generally assumed to be the first woman writer in French, the author known as Marie de France. The Anonymous Marie de France is the first work to consider all of the writing ascribed to Marie, including her famous Lais , her 103 animal fables, and the earliest vernacular Saint Patrick’s Purgatory. Evidence about Marie de France’s life is so meager that we know next to nothing about her-not where she was born and to what rank, who her parents were, whether she was married or single, where she lived and might have traveled, whether she dwelled in cloister or at court, nor whether in England or France. In the face of this great writer’s near anonymity, scholars have assumed her to be a simple, naive, and modest Christian figure. Bloch’s claim, in contrast, is that Marie is among the most self-conscious, sophisticated, complicated, and disturbing figures of her time-the Joyce of the twelfth century. At a moment of great historical turning, the so-called Renaissance of the twelfth century, Marie was both a disrupter of prevailing cultural values and a founder of new ones. Her works, Bloch argues, reveal an author obsessed by writing, by memory, and by translation, and acutely aware not only of her role in the preservation of cultural memory, but of the transforming psychological, social, and political effects of writing within an oral tradition. Marie’s intervention lies in her obsession with the performative capacities of literature and in her acute awareness of the role of the subject in interpreting his or her own world. According to Bloch, Marie develops a theology of language in the Lais , which emphasize the impossibility of living in the flesh along with a social vision of feudalism in decline. She elaborates an ethics of language in the Fables , which, within the context of the court of Henry II, frame and form the urban values and legal institutions of the Anglo-Norman world. And in her Espurgatoire , she produces a startling examination of the afterlife which Bloch links to the English conquest and occupation of medieval Ireland. With a penetrating glimpse into works such as these, The Anonymous Marie de France recovers the central achievements of one of the most pivotal figures in French literature. It is a study that will be of enormous value to medievalists, literary scholars, historians of France, and anyone interested in the advent of female authorship. |

Louise Marie de France (15 July 1737 23 December 1787) was the youngest of the ten children of King Louis XV of France and his wife, Queen Maria Leszczy ska. As a daughter of the king, she held the rank of a fille de France, and was known as Madame Louise. She outlived her father, mother, and all of her siblings except for her two older sisters, Madame Ad la de and Madame Victoire. Louise Marie de France was born at Versailles on 15 July 1737, and was known as Madame Septi me (one of her seven older sisters died before her birth) or Madame Derni re, later Madame Louise. She was brought up at the Abbey of Fontevraud with Louis three other youngest daughters, Madame Victoire, Madame Sophie and Madame Th r se (who died at Fontevraud at the age of eight).
