description: This book describes a major turning point in European history (1808-1809) when Napoleon Bonaparte’s army overran Rome, arrested pope Pius VII, and took him into exile. Brun’s eyewitness account of the reactions of the Roman populace, the carnival and church festivals, form her most important work in prose. Private correspondence turns here into political essay reflecting the change in the author’s life from the sentimentality of 18th century ease to an era of 19th century revolutionary attitudes. In German.
