Summary "Mémoires de Madame la Duchesse de Tourzel, tome second" by Tourzel is a historical memoir written in the late 19th century. The work provides an in-depth account of the complex social and political climate in France during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution, particularly from the perspective of Madame de Tourzel, who served as the governess to the children of the royal family. The memoir offers a unique glimpse into significant events, figures, and the intricacies of court life during revolution. The opening of the memoir presents the political interactions of the Assembly in 1791, including the debates surrounding the swearing of allegiance to the new Constitution, as well as the discussions about the royal prerogative and title. It highlights the growing tensions between the monarchy and revolutionary factions, particularly the challenges faced by King Louis XVI as he navigates a tumultuous political landscape filled with insurrection and legislative challenges. Madame de Tourzel's narrative reflects her observations about the conflicts between the Assembly and the monarchy, her dedication to the children she cares for, and the emotional weight of living through revolutionary upheaval.
