Uppark and Its People

Beschreibung

Hardback. Uppark and its People. Foxing to edge. Slight wear to edges of D/J. Marks to back D/J. It was built, on a site long inhabited, in the reign of William and Mary for the Earl of Tankerville, a strange character who ran off with his sister-in-law and who fought, unskilfully, in Monmouth's Rebellion. Lady Meade-Fetherstonhaugh and Olver Warner have related the history of the successive people who have lived at Uppark, drawing on letters and documents preserved in the house itself. Particularly illuminating is a series of letters from Repton, and there are glimpses of two other notable characters, Emma Hamilton, who for one short period in her life was Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh's mistress, and H. G. Wells, whose mother was housekeeper at Uppark. Illustrated. 118 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
