About this listen

 Journey back in time with us as we delve into the intriguing Moberly-Jourdain incident that took place on August 10, 1901. Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, two scholarly women, recount their extraordinary experience during a visit to the Petit Trianon within the Palace of Versailles. They claim to have unknowingly slipped back in time, encountering Marie Antoinette and other characters from the past. After extensively researching the palaces history and cross-checking their unique experience, they published their findings in a book, An Adventure, under the pseudonyms Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont. The story, published in 1911, sparked controversy and mockery alike. Dive into this fascinating tale of time travel and history.
