Description:
New York: Harper & Row, 1977 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st US Ed... This biography of one of the nineteenth century's most dazzling women is also a dramatic and exciting historical story set against a background of glittering cities and filled with a cast of fascinating characters. Jane Digby, born in 1807, was the daughter of a respected English noble family. At seventeen she married Lord Ellenborough (later the British Viceroy of India), but after just four years she left him for an Austrian prince - a separation that led to one of England's most scandalous divorce cases. That relationship was not to last long, however. From her prince Jane went on to the court of King Ludwig of Bavaria.

In her forties she settled at last in a long and satisfying marriage to a Bedouin Sheik living half the year in Damascus and half…

Oxford: Archaeopress, 2006 Book. New. Soft cover. First Thus.. On August 2nd 1877, the English explorer and archaeologist James Theodore Bent married an extraordinary Irishwoman, Mabel Virginia Anna Hall-Dare .and within a few months they had embarked on their pattern of annual travels that continued until his early death in 1897. Their trips began fairly close to home, visiting northern Italy, but by 1883 they were in the Eastern Mediterranean (in modern Greece and Turkey), searching out the antiquities, landscapes and lifestyles of a region that was to captivate them for the next fifteen years. Their researches led to a number of highly regarded monographs, papers and articles (such as Theodores 'The Cyclades, or Life Among the Insular Greeks', 1885, and the many publications of their various discoveries in locations such as Rugged Cilicia, the island of Thassos, and elsewhere) that were to place the couple securely amongst the foremost British travellers of the latter half of the 19th…
