Collects 315 letters, many never published, written by the Austrian archduchess and later Brazilian empress consort, who witnessed and actively participated in Brazil's transformation from colony to independent nation, endured an unhappy arranged marriage to Pedro I, gave birth to seven children (including Pedro II), and died at 29 after a miscarriage. Arranged chronologically, with helpful appendixes and fine illustrations, the volume includes letters written to the Austrian royal family, her husband and his parents, and other leading figures of the independence era. Five introductory essays contextualize her life. [HL] No library descriptions found. |
