Louise de La Vallière(1849)

David CowardAlexandre Dumas

Louise de la Vallière is the middle section of The Vicomte de Bragelonne, or, Ten Years After . Against a tender love story, Dumas continues the suspense which began with The Vicomte de Bragelonne and will end with The Man in the Iron Mask . Set during the reign of Louis XIV and filled with
behind-the-scenes intrigue, the novel brings the aging Musketeers and d'Artagnan out of retirement to face an impending crisis within the royal court of France. This new edition of the classic English translation is richly annotated and places Dumas's invigorating tale in its historical and
cultural context.
