Growing up in a fractious household in working-class Brooklyn, my mother dreamt of living in France, of experiencing “civilization.” As for myself, molded by the gloomy obsessions of the adults around me, I sought refuge as a child in a Japanese anime titled Lady Oscar, and its story of a woman forced into the role of military officer for the royal guard at Versailles. Very personal in tone, A Bloody Song examines the enduring mystery of “time travel”, leading from an adult’s awakening into the enchanted world of childhood and back again. It explores the major themes and imagery in the celebrated anime Lady Oscar and comments on those of The Rose of Versailles, the manga it is based on. The essay also proposes to examine these motifs through a comparative study of Nobel-prize winning Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day. Divided into eight distinct parts, or themes, A Bloody Song offers a glimpse into the rich, ancient culture and literature of Japan via one of its most famous animes and mangas. In this way, it aims to elucidate the adult themes concealed within the dark, fairytale realm of a cherished girlhood series. My main reason for revisiting this world is this: to save a favourite animated character from feeling abandoned. As I once did. As we all sometimes do. “I enjoyed [the read]—simultaneously very academic and well-written.” —Morris Berman, author of Neurotic Beauty: An Outsider Looks at Japan “The best tribute to a favorite manga and anime is to analyze it, delving into its influences, insights, and impact. Caroline Kerjean does this beautifully in her personal, passionate, powerful essay about Rose of Versailles (Lady Oscar).” —Alisa Freedman, Professor of Japanese Literature and Film, University of Oregon and Editor-in-Chief of the U.S.-Japan Women's Journal “I was impressed by Kerjean's clear, graceful writing and the wonderful diversity of sources she brings to bear on her topic.” —Wendy Steiner, author of The Trouble with Beauty “There is quite a lot to say about this wonderfully rich and evocative book!” —Nathalie Nadaud-Albertini, CREM, Université de Lorraine “Wonderful book. I was especially struck by Kerjean's explanation of koi. I know the feeling...” —Andrew Feenberg, author of Nishida, Kawabata and the Japanese Response to Modernity

In the final installment of Sally Christie’s “tantalizing” (New York Daily News) Mistresses of Versailles trilogy, Jeanne Becu, a woman of astounding beauty but humble birth, works her way from the grimy back streets of Paris to the palace of Versailles, where the aging King Louis XV has become a jaded and bitter old philanderer. Jeanne bursts into his life and, as the Comtesse du Barry, quickly becomes his official mistress. “That beastly bourgeois Pompadour was one thing; a common prostitute is quite another kettle of fish.” After decades of suffering the King's endless stream of Royal Favorites, the princesses of the Court have reached a breaking point. Horrified that he would bring the lowborn Comtesse du Barry into the hallowed halls of Versailles, Louis XV’s daughters, led by the indomitable Madame Adelaide, vow eternal enmity and enlist the dauphine Marie Antoinette in their fight against the new mistress. But as tensions rise and the French Revolution draws closer, a prostitute in the palace soon becomes the least of the nobility’s concerns. Told in Christie’s witty and engaging style, the final book in The Mistresses of Versailles trilogy will delight and entrance fans as it once again brings to life the sumptuous and cruel world of eighteenth century Versailles, and France as it approaches irrevocable change.
