		Devonshire house remained the centre of whig politics, a place for politicians of the day to meet socially and indeed they did, many meetings were achieved under the informal auspices of a Devonshire house party.
		So when the Duchess and Bess decided to travel to Paris in 1789 and the future sixth Duke of Devonshire was born there, it aroused gossip that the child was perhaps the love child of Bess and the Duke, and not in fact the Duchess's at all.
		Georgiana was an intimate of Marie-Antoinette but France was in political unrest and hardly the place for a pregnant woman to be travelling without the protection of her husband too.

	Review - Georgiana
		Born Lady Georgiana Spencer (at Althorpe), she was, coincidentally, the sister of an ancestor of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, whose blonde beauty, sweetness, commitment to charitable causes, elegant fashion sense, and occasional cluelessness she shared.
		Georgiana also suffered acutely from bulimia - before it was even fashionable - under the joint pressure to be both the perfect daugther tor her adoring parents and the perfect Duchess to her immensely powerful and equally clueless husband, whom she accepted at 16 to please her family.
		Devonshire - England’s richest duke, the master of the palatial Chatsworth, and a central patron of the Whig party, which would eventually grow into the Liberals - was the catch of the Century.

	ALL ABOUT ROMANCE reviews Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Georgiana was the eldest child of John, the first Earl Spencer (yes, the same Spencers that begot the late Diana, Princess of Wales) and his wife, Georgiana Poyntz, whose mission in life seems to have been pointing out her daughter's shortcomings.
		Georgiana also realizes early on that her husband is quite immune to the charms that have captivated society and is forced to look elsewhere for affection.
		Georgiana's loneliness is palpable and real, and the glitter and glamour of her life and her dedication to Whig politics become the cocoon for her empty heart.

		Georgiana's husband was unfaithful, self-absorbed, indolent, and a hypochondriac with whom she had few or no common interests.
		Georgiana's unorthodox approach to politics, her infidelities, and her intelligence earned her the anathema of her Victorian descendants, and they ruthlessly edited, sanitized, or suppressed her letters and diaries because she so strayed from their concept of what a woman should be and do.
		Nor does Foreman understand the morals of the age and place Georgiana's life properly within that context: When the Duke of Devonshire insisted on a separation from Georgiana and was considering divorce, it was not on the grounds of infidelity, but because of her crippling debts which threatened to impoverish the family.

		Lady Georgiana Spencer was the great-great-great-great aunt of Diana, Princess of Wales.

		Georgiana was a duchess and a mother, author and trendsetter, political authority and leader.

		Her family was slightly lower in social status than the Devonshires, but, far from being intimidated, she blossomed, became her own person, and was eventually known and loved not only by those of her own class but by the people of England.
		Although she was usually a prolific letter writer, Georgiana was beyond such communication; neither are there letters from friends or the doctors.
		At the age of 35, Georgiana developed a serious and life-threatening condition of her right eye (the left was involved to a lesser degree), which, from the description provided by her mother and the knowledge subsequently accumulated, was most likely to be CST.

	Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire - Critiquesdelivres.com
		By 1784 Georgiana owed "many, many, many thousands", and the creditors she acquired dogged her until her death, but the sterility of her marriage meant that she never came close to disclosing the magnitude of her debts.
		Amanda Foreman describes astutely the mess that was personal relationships for the aristocratic subculture (Georgiana and the Duke engaged for many years in a ménage à trois with Lady Elizabeth Fraser, who inveigled her way into his bed and her heart).
		She is, by her own admission, a little in love with her subject, which can lead to occasional lapses of perspective, but generally it adds zest to a narrative built on, rather than burdened by, scholarship, that is at once accessible and learned.
