The Marchioness of Brinvilliers is a historical novel written by Albert Smith and published in 1846. The book is set in 17th century France and tells the story of the infamous poisoner, Marie-Madeleine d'Aubray, the Marquise de Brinvilliers. The novel follows her life from her privileged upbringing to her descent into a life of crime and ultimately her capture and execution. The book also explores the social and political climate of France during this time, including the corruption and decadence of the aristocracy. Smith's writing style is engaging and descriptive, transporting the reader back in time to experience the drama and intrigue of 17th century France. The Marchioness of Brinvilliers is a fascinating historical novel that will captivate readers interested in true crime, history, and the darker side of human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
