Media Reviews
"But to dwell on the psychosexual machinations of the Devonshires' menage, which many readers may find the most fascinating aspect of Foreman's biography, would be to overlook the sizeable portion which offers a panorama of British politics in the age of William Pitt the Younger, and focuses on Georgiana's activity in the Whig party."
