Excerpt from The Life and Times of Madame Du Barry The ethics of comparative morality, or immorality, are not easy to understand. Why, it might be asked, arerthe virtuous English so tender towards the failings of Nell Gywn, whilst the French, who do not regard concubinage as at all a heinous offence, overload with obloquy the memory of Jeanne du barryp, In birth, in circumstances of early life, and in character, the two women closely resemble one another, yet the English general reader still preserves a kind of sneaking regard for the one, and has learned, at second hand, to detest the other.

Born the illegitimate daughter of a monk and a seamstress, Madame du Barry rose from poverty to become one of the most powerful and wealthy women of France. A courtesan, she became Louis XV's official mistress and was fĂȘted as one of France's most beautiful women. On Louis XV's death she became vulnerable to those secretly longing for her downfall. Marie Antoinette had her imprisoned for a year, and in 1793 she was executed by the Revolutionary Tribunal for her aristocratic associations. Joan Haslip's classic biography shares the extraordinary and ultimately tragic story of du Barry's life and, in turn, illustrates the dazzling world of the eighteenth century royal court of France and the horrors of the Revolution.
