La Reine Margot

by Alexandre Dumas · first published 1845

La Reine Margot (English: Queen Margot) is a historical novel written in 1845 by Alexandre Dumas. Although it is based on real characters and events, certain aspects of La Reine Margot may be inconsistent with the historical record; historians have attributed that to artistic licence and the fact that Dumas might have been influenced by propaganda against certain historical figures, notably Catherine. Written in French, it was almost immediately translated into English, first anonymously and soon afterward publicly by David Bogue as Marguerite de Valois: An Historical Romance.
