    PHILLIPE regent extraordinaire
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021*

Loved the way it is written, I know the author uses modern physchology to explain some concepts however it is non intrusive and is written not as an authority but a suggestion to contemplate I like the style and these insertions of contemplation. The story is fascinating all the more so that Philippe's lineage would be the reigning royalty today if the tradition had lasted...Philippe is a complex character who adds drama and colour to the court of Louis XIV imo the more fascinating of the two brothers and together they are a fabulous story.

    Good for background but author treats homosexuality as a pathology
  

*by P***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017*

As an LGBT historian I am always looking for information on those forgotten women and men who were openly dealing with their sexual orientation. One has to dig deep and I was delighted to actually find a biography on Philippe, Duke of Orleans. The book does give some insight into the life and times of Monsieur but I was really put off by the psychological profile of the prince as Ms. Barker appeared to deem homosexuality as a pathology. Even for a book published in 1989, the outdated Freudian analysis was cringe worthy. And, even though I know there is not a lot of information on the Chevalier de Lorraine, it was, homophobic for the writer to deem his relationship with the prince as being one that was sinister and degrading. All in all, I'll give it three stars for the background info and a book that should be in all serious LGBT historians' libraries as in preserving a too often ignored and deleted history.
