Made famous by the absolutist king Louis XIV, Versailles became legendary for the splendor of its revels-but then, after the Revolution of 1789, it fell into disrepute as a reminder of royal excess and abuse of power. Subsequent French governments struggled with how to handle the opulent palace and grounds-should the site be memorialized, trivialized, rehabilitated, or even destroyed outright? Drawing on a new wave of recent research, historian Colin Jones masterfully traces the evolution of Versailles as a space of royal politics and aristocratic pleasures, a building of mythic status, and one of the world's great tourist destinations." -- $c Publisher's description. 505 00 $t Conserving: Versailles, curation and heritage. $t Mythologising: the golden era (1682-1715) -- $t Continuing: the Bourbon successorion (1715-1789) -- $t Living: styles of Versailles life -- $t Republicanising: in search of a new role -- $t Conserving: Versailles, curation and heritage. 610 20 $a ChaÌteau de Versailles (Versailles, France) $x History. 610 20 $a ChaÌteau de Versailles (Versailles, France) $x Design and construction. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031455.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20190627010555.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605012635.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190524010853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A3F8550550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
