Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book is a whirlwind journey through the reign of Queen Anne, focusing on the rivalry between Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, and Abigail Hill, Mrs. Masham. The author positions this rivalry within the broader context of politics, war, and religion, shedding light on the deep-rooted tensions of the British aristocracy at the time. The thematic depth of the book explores the inherent fragility of power, and the extent to which those in power will go to protect it. At a time of tremendous social upheaval, this book offers a fresh perspective on the venality, treachery, and petty squabbles that are inextricably bound with the corridors of power, giving readers a glimpse into the shadowy world of politics as well as the women at its heart.
