Omschrijving

The Strange Career Of The Chevalier D��eon De Beaumont is a historical biography written by John Buchan Telfer in 1885. The book explores the life of Charles Genevi��ve Louis Auguste Andr�� Timoth��e d'��on de Beaumont, commonly known as the Chevalier d'��on, a French diplomat, spy, and soldier who lived during the 18th century. The book begins by tracing d'��on's early life, including his education and entry into the French army. It then delves into his career as a diplomat and spy, during which he was sent on various missions throughout Europe. The book also explores d'��on's gender identity, as he lived for much of his life as a man but later claimed to be a woman. Telfer examines the various theories surrounding d'��on's gender identity, including the possibility that he was intersex or transgender. The book also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the French Revolution and the role of gender and sexuality in society. Overall, The Strange Career Of The Chevalier D��eon De Beaumont provides a fascinating look into the life of a complex and enigmatic figure, while also shedding light on broader issues of gender and identity in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
