Fans of biography and history, especially related to British history should find this fascinating reading. Those interested in Queen Victoria will find this to be a wonderful addition to the literature.
This volume is sure to delight Austen fans, while Worsley's examination of manuscripts will make new material accessible to scholars unable to visit the British Library, Hampshire Archives, Kent History and Library Centre, or the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust Record Office.
Divided into discrete segments, the audiobook would be perfect for car trips, exercise sessions, or relaxing evenings at home. ["This riveting cultural history will enthrall fans of British crime novels as well as readers of true crime," read the starred review of the Pegasus Crime hc, LJ 9/15/14.]
Full of factoids, but with some small errors, this might serve as a good introduction to those new to the history of houses or the study of material culture, but it lacks citations and will not appeal to more serious readers.
In contrast to Worsley's brilliantly organized, meticulously researched Cavalier, this book does not flow well; it is rambling and unfocused, a gossipy account of Hanoverian court life suitable for reading perhaps by some royal watchers but not likely to satisfy those most interested in the era.
