| Samenvatting | Cornélie de Wassenaer went to Russia as maid of honour to the Princess of Orange-Nassau, youngest sister of Emperor Alexander I. The royal party arrived in St Petersburg in November 1824, when Cornélie was twenty-five, and stayed with the Imperial family until the following July. Although she was the greatest Dutch heiress of her day, Cornélie felt herself ‘my little person’ in circumstances in which it would have been easy to be overawed. In the event it gives a refreshing integrity to her account. Educated and observant, she has left us a narrative of exceptional charm and interest, fluently translated and helpfully annotated. |
