A collection of two first editions of Italian translations, each devoted to a figure of eighteenth-century French secret diplomacy and published during their lifetimes: the Chevalier d'Éon and Prince Charles Edward Stuart, d. 1810 and 1788 respectively.
This sammelband, combining two separately published works, in fact possesses a genuine thematic unity: cross-dressing.
