Product Information
Castigated for traits which might have been applauded in a man, Sarah was famously described by Dr Johnson as a good hater . She was instrumental in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and became a strident advocate of Whig principles. She supervised the building of Blenheim Palace, Marlborough House, and managed some twenty-seven other estates. Sarah was a compulsive and compelling writer, narrating the major events of her day with herself often at centre-stage. This biography brings her own voice, passionate and intelligent, back to life, and casts a critical eye over images of the Duchess in art, history and literature.Product Identifiers
