Marie Antoinette: Reputation and Reality (Essentially, was Marie Antoinette really as bad as her reputation makes her out to be)?
Assignment:
Write a paper, 5-7 pages in length, (font size 12, times new roman, double spaced), comparing two sources and their use of primary source evidence.
Compare the theses in each source, their arguments, and how the historians use their sources. Do they both use the same evidence (primary sources) but interpret them differently?
Do they use different primary sources? Do they focus on different aspects of the question?
The argument should be clear and concise, the paper should include multiple primary sources, and be sure to parenthetically cite every source pulled from your sources. Of your sources, two books are required. It is optional to use outside sources such as articles.
