Includes a biographical foreword by Peter Quennell who translate Princess Lieven's letters with the assistance of Dilys Powell. "This book consists of exerpts of letters written by Princess Lieven to Prince Metternich, that she chose to save. It is a fascinating insight into someone who was very prominent during the Regency and the reign of George IV. I enjoyed it very much. However, since it is not complete copies of the letters themselves, and his replies are not included, it does not give a complete picture. I would recommend this to anyone interested in England during the Regency or Victorian eras." (Lauren Gilbert goodreads).
