About This Item
Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London - 1984 hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket Jacket top edge is ragged, including 3½ x 1½cm gap. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket This is the first full-scale study of ladies-in-waiting at the English royal court from Tudor times. Some were drawn by the process of political power (Lucy, Countess of Carlisle; Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, for example); others became royal mistresses (the rapacious Lady Castlemaine or the Countess of Suffolk); while other ladies came to find husbands. Combining anecdote with searching analysis, this is a social history at its most colourful and entertaining. Includes 16 pages of illustrations.
