The sisters lived through tumultuous times. They were close to the Court and were witness to the terrors of the French Revolution and Jacobite rising ... acting as hostesses to the great and good of England and Ireland, their lives were central to the political upheavals of the late C18.
Stella Tillyard gives us an insight into the lives of the sisters, their families, their lovers and friends. Drawing on material from a great family archive and personal letters she offers us a portrait of the daily detail of country and town life; of the houses, furiture and gardens which the sisters oversaw, bought and commissioned. The world of the Aristocrats is grandly displayed here in this sumptiously illustrated and excellently written book. ( )
