description: In her 86 years, AdTle d'Osmond witnessed tremendous political and social change in France and the rest of Europe. Through friendships with members of the royal family, she exerted influence over affairs of state. She was also the author of two novels and a collection of memoirs. In this study, Vanderboegh (modern languages and literatures, Creighton U.) draws upon archival material and historical treatises written by d'Osmond's contemporaries to present a picture of the comtesse's life and works. The volume is indexed by name, but not by subject. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
