Description:
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987. A Fine unmarked copy with VG price clipped dustjacket. xix + 266 pages. 20 illustrations. 1 map. Genealogical trees of the Marshall family and of the Williams family. Jeanette Marshall, daughter of an eminent anatomist, scanned the drawing rooms of late Victorian London, and assiduously recorded her impressions in diaries she kept for 23 years. In constant pursuit of a husband, craftily steering a course between strong-mindedness and frivolity, she applied her brisk realism and caustic manner to draw a vivid and unexpected picture of Victorian daily life. Drawing on this previously untapped source, the author reconstructs the story of the Marshall family, charting the trials and fortunes, both comic and poignant, which befell these precariously privileged newcomers to London society. Jeanette Marshall's trenchant comments provide a fresh view of such friends as Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, and Burne-Jones's mistress Mary Zambaco. **** NOT EX LIB ****… Read More
