Description
A brilliant excavation of the life of Adam Zamoyski's great-great-great-great grandmother, a princess and pioneer of education who created the first museum in Poland.
By following this creative, forward-thinking woman who sat at the centre of power and held many important men's affections, this short biography will open up a stormy period of late eighteenth, early nineteenth century Polish history.Europe sat at a crossroads, the formerly rococo world shattered by the French Revolution and then transformed by Napoleon's agenda.
Social values, the religious landscape, the positions of royalty were morphing - Izabela is a fascinating route into this world, and the detective work of Adam Zamoyski, a world-leading historian, into the life of his relative makes for a charming, deeply fascinating read.
