| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Titus Andronicus - Date and authorship Most scholars date Titus to the early 1590s; it was certainly written prior to 1594, the date of its first published edition.
None of the three quarto editions lists Shakespeare as the author. Francis Meres lists the play as one of Shakespeare's tragedies in a publication of 1598, and, of course, the editors of the First Folio included it among his works. There is evidence that the first act was written by George Peele, who may also have written the scene in which Lavinia uses Ovid's Metamorphoses to explain that she has been raped. The assertion of Peele's hand in the play is controversial, ...

From 1984 to 1990, Streep won six People's Choice Awa ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - The fall of Versailles It was a few months before news arrived that a mob from Paris had taken the decision to march on Versailles. Rumours had spread in the city that the royals were hoarding all the grain. News reached the Palace on October 5th, with Marie-Antoinette once again repeating her plea that they flee. The king refused.
Since she was aware that she was the most unpopular member of the royal family, Marie-Antoinette chose to sleep on her own that evening. She left strict instructions with the Marquise de Tourzel that she was to take the ch ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - The countdown to revolution Coupled with the political disaster of the Affair of the Necklace, the royal family also suffered some terrible personal tragedies. In 1787, Marie Antoinette's youngest daughter, Sophie-Béatrix, died shortly before her first birthday. The queen was devastated and spent hours weeping over the baby's body.
Not long after, the Royal Physicians informed her that her eldest son, the Dauphin Louis-Joséph, was terminally ill with consumption. The child's condition deteriorated and Marie Antoinette spen ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - The affair of the necklace Main article: Affair of the diamond necklace
Louis, Cardinal de Rohan, a member of one of France's most prominent aristocratic houses, was not in the queen's favour. He had been the Envoy to Austria: personal letters of his had been intercepted, in which he bragged to friends back home that he had "bedded half the Austrian court" and that Marie Antoinette's own mother the Empress had "begged" him for her turn. He had also jested to friends in Vienna by showing them some of the pamphlets insulting Marie Antoinette's honour. His ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - Imprisonment Marie Antoinette did not ever truly recover from her husband's death. According to her daughter, "She no longer had any hope left in her heart or distinguished between life and death." She began to suffer from convulsions and fainting fits. She also lost her appetite and lost an enormous amount of weight.
On the night of July 3, 1793, commissioners arrived in the royal family's cell with instructions to separate Marie Antoinette's son from the rest of his family. He had been proclaimed Louis XVII by exiled royalists after his father's ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - Execution On the morning of October 16th, a guard arrived to cut her hair and bind her hands behind her back. She was forced into a common, slow-moving cart and paraded through the streets of Paris for over an hour before reaching the Place de la Révolution where the guillotine stood. She stepped lightly down from the cart and stared up at the guillotine. The priest who had accompanied her whispered, "This is the moment, Madame, to arm yourself with courage." Marie Antoinette turned to look at him and smiled, "Courage? The moment when my troubles are ...

| | | | | Brian Cox: Encyclopedia II - Marie Antoinette - Reputation Marie Antoinette went down in history as a shallow, weak, self-indulgent and stupid person. Only royalists, who saw her as a martyr, viewed her any differently. They later recovered her body and reburied it in the Bourbon dynasty crypt in Paris, and they also retrieved the bodies of Louis XVI and Princess Elisabeth (who was executed in 1794).
In recent years, however, this has somewhat changed. In 1933, Stefan Zweig wrote a biography of her Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Ordinary Woman, in which he argued the queen achiev ...
