Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A TV documentary featuring the author and based around the book is planned for autumn 1999, by which time (based on the reception for the hardback which won the 1998 Whitbread Biography Award) this title will be massive. A tale of sex, intrigue and adultery amid the wealth and power of the late eighteenth century aristocracy. 32 b/w, 16 colour plates.

Synopsis:

Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire was one of the most flamboyant women of the eighteenth century. Foreman's biography of the great-great-great aunt of Diana, Princess of Wales presents a picture of political and sexual intrigue and shows that Georgiana was a gambler, a drug addict, an adultress and the darling of the common people.

This is a fascinating historical biography! Georgiana Spencer was the Princess Diana of her day and a friend of Marie Antoinette. A very interesting read.
