	Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Georgiana Spencer was, in a sense, an 18th-century "It Girl".
		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.
		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.

	Georgiana by Amanda Foreman
		Georgiana was only fourteen when people began to speculate on her choice of husband.
		Georgiana combined a perfect mastery of etiquette with a mischievous grace and ease which met with approval in the artificial and mannered atmosphere of the French court.
		The Spencers were extremely gratified by the interest he showed in their eldest daughter, and it did not escape Georgiana's notice that she was being watched; she knew that her parents wanted her to succeed.

		Georgiana Spencer was born at Althorp, Northamptonshire on the 7th of June 1757, the eldest child to the first Earl Spencer and Countess Spencer.
		When Georgiana was 7 the family moved into the newly built Spencer House on Green Park, rather strangely just two minutes walk from the house where she would spend most of her married life.
		Georgiana remembered the parties going on long into the night, and despite her mother's later deep Christian beliefs, the wine flowed freely and fortunes were won and lost on the gambling tables.

		Georgiana was lonely and frustrated, berated by her mother and in-laws for her failure to produce a male child but her biggest flaw was her addiction to gambling - a habit she could not break despite her husband's threat to divorce her because of her debts.
		Georgiana herself sought love outside her marriage but became pregnant with her lover's child and was exiled abroad for years.
		Georgiana's feckless gambling is frustrating and her absolute loyalty to her beloved friend Bess despite widespread public knowledge of her relationship with William is bizarre.

	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.
		As feminist history, Georgiana’s story is also invaluable since it tells of a time period in history in which women really were movers and shakers in politics.

	Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire book review by the Evening Standard
		Though her subject is the daughter of an earlier Earl Spencer, Amanda Foreman avoids the temptation to cash in on parallels with a later tragic heroine from that family.
		Her story of Georgiana Spencer stands squarely on its own two feet, a richly-documented and poignant tale of a remarkable lady.
		In a daring and quite unprecedented move, Georgiana in effect became his campaign manager at the general elections of the 1780s, even canvassing in the streets - lewd cartoons depicted her trading votes for kisses among the shopkeepers of Westminster.

		Lady Georgiana Spencer of Althorp (1757‑1806), exceedingly tall, beautiful, and gregarious, fell in love with one of the most eligible bachelors in England, William Cavendish, the 5th Duke of Devonshire (1748‑1811).
		Georgiana breathed fresh air into London society (or perhaps pumped fresh blood would be more accurate), and soon she held the salon, entertaining Sheridan, Samuel Johnson, and others who described her with superlatives as they commented on her beauty, grace, charm, and wit.
		Georgiana was mourned by the Duke, her children, and Lady Elizabeth.

		Lady Georgiana Spencer was the great-great-great-great-aunt of Diana, Princess of Wales, and was nearly as famous in her day.
		In 1774 Georgiana achieved immediate celebrity by marrying William Cavendish, one of England’s richest and most influential aristocrats, and became the queen of fashionable society.
		Was it a form of protest against her unhappy marriage, an expression of anger against a society that favored men over women, the result of childhood trauma, a demonstration of character weakness, or an amalgamation of all?

		She came from one of England's richest and most landed families (the late Princess Diana was a Spencer too) and married into another.
		Biographer Amanda Foreman describes astutely the mess that surrounded the personal relationships of the aristocratic subculture (Georgiana and the duke engaged for many years in a mÃ©nage Ã trois with Lady Elizabeth Fraser, who inveigled her way into the duke's bed and the duchess's heart).
		Foreman 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.

		An inspirational woman of her time, there are many aspects of the character and experiences of Lady Georgiana Spencer which are equally relevant to the lives of contemporary women.
		Her successful entry into the male-dominated world of politics, her relationship with the press, her stuggle with addiction, and her determination to forge her own identity are material for a rich and fascinating production.
		Georgiana documented all these things in her letters, journals, poem and plays, which along with detailed press reports, contribute to form a detailed picture of both her and her times.

		Born Lady Georgiana Spencer in 1757, she married at 17 to the very rich but emotionally stunted Duke of Devonshire, the only man in England not in love with her, newspapers would later claim.
		Georgiana's intricate hairdos, her convoluted love affairs and substantial political influence would make her as closely observed as a later Spencer: Diana, Princess of Wales.
		Georgiana and her husband lived for many years with the grifter Lady Elizabeth Foster, who bore the Duke at least one child and possibly two.
