Hi Patrons!

In this episode Mildred tries to untangle the confusing tale of the Chevalier/Chevaliere d'Eon, an 18th century french spy and diplomat who presented masculine for the first 49 years of life, and female for the last 33.  Speculation from scholars of their change in gender range from a hoax, to punishment by the king, to being a gender theorist ahead of their time.   We also forget to introduce ourselves and the show- so if this is your first time, welcome to History Lessons for Misanthropes, we're Dr. Mildred Strange and Lou. music by V►LH►LL vlhll.bandcamp.com

Questions about gender identity may seem to be characteristic of our time, but others have gone before us in challenging societal roles. From Harriet Freke in Maria Edgeworth's Belinda (1801) to the real life Chevalier d'Eon, men and women have been pushing the boundaries of what it means to be male and female. Where does Jane Austen come in this debate? How would she negotiate current questions about how we engage with our gendered social roles? We go from Lady Susan to Persuasion in our quest for some of the answers.

For this episode, I tell the true story of a successful diplomat and spy in eighteenth century Europe who suddenly declared that she was a woman, setting her up against no one less than the king and queen of France.

Chevalier D'Eon lived life as a spy, a diplomat, and a man. But returned to France a woman. In this episode, Alexis teaches Hailey about a decorated war hero who might have been a woman all along.

In 1763 peace broke out between France and Britain, ending the Seven Years War. The defeated superpower France was left nursing its wounds, as well as thoughts of revenge. While King Louis XV's foreign minister sought to maintain the peace, the King's spy network, 'the King's Secret' (Secret du Roi) developed plans to invade England. These conflicting agendas were embodied in the Chevalier d'Eon, France's minister in London. A Georgian Edward Snowden. Shortly after his arrival the Chevalier began publishing confidential diplomatic despatches and blackmailing his King. The Chevalier escaped assassination and imprisonment by becoming a woman in 1777.Dr Jonathan Conlin teaches modern British history at the University of Southampton. Currently he is researching a biography of the Anglo-Armenian oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian. His books include Tales of Two Cities: Paris, London and the Making of the Modern City.
