Évelyne Lever (known simply in English as Evelyne Lever) is a contemporary French historian and writer. [1] She was married to a French historian, Maurice Lever, who is the author of Sade. [2]
Lever was previously a research engineer at CNRS, and then began to focus more on 18th-century history. In particular, she focuses on certain people, including Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Madame de Pompadour.
Marie Antoinette: The Last Queen of France was her first book to be published in the United States. [2] It is less extensive than Lever's French version (Marie-Antoinette : la dernière reine), and was written specifically for an American audience. [1] The book was originally planned to be the basis of Sofia Coppola's 2006 film Marie Antoinette, before her final decision of using Antonia Fraser's Marie Antoinette: The Journey instead. [1]
She continues to write on and about 18th-century history. [1]
