Note: Cover may not represent actual copy or condition available

Book summary

This biography of Georgiana Cavendish reveals the important role she played in the social and political circle of Whigs in 17th-century England. It shows her to be a woman of high influence but also one caught up in scandalous behavior in her household.

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."
