London: Jonathan Cape, 1966 'High society in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries bears many striking resemblances to its twentieth-century counterpart. Then, as now, people living in the public glare tried to conduct their private affairs with self-conscious dignity or else kicked over the traces with an extra dash of frenzy; some revelled in the consciousness of their exposed position, others cringed from it. Hester Chapman has written about four personages who lived such lives and who expressed their own reactions vividly in journals, letters and books. 320pp. Dust jacket not price clipped.
