内容简介
In this sumptuous group portrait of the six daughters of
“Mad” King George III, acclaimed biographer Flora Fraser takes us
into the heart of the British royal family during the tumultuous
period of the American and French revolutions.
Drawing on their extraordinary private correspondence, Fraser
gives voice to these handsome, accomplished, extremely
well-educated women: Princess Royal, the eldest, constantly at odds
with her mother; home-loving, family-minded Augusta; plump
Elizabeth, a gifted amateur artist; Mary, the bland beauty of the
family; Sophia, emotional and prone to take refuge in illness; and
Amelia, “the most turbulent and tempestuous of all the Princesses.”
Never before has the historical searchlight been turned with such
sympathy and acuity on George III and his family.
