	Lady Charlotte Guest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Guest, (nee Bertie) (May 19, 1812 – January 15, 1895), was an important figure in the history of the study of Welsh literature and language.
		Her husband, John Josiah Guest, was an industrialist in Wales, the owner of the Dowlais Iron Company and rather older than her (he was 49 years old); they moved to Dowlais in Merthyr Tydfil after he was elected MP for the constituency in 1832.
		Lady Charlotte's eldest son Sir Ivor Guest, 2nd Bt, eventually became First Baron Wimborne and married Lady Cornelia Spencer-Churchill, eldest daughter of the Seventh Duke of Marlborough and thus aunt to Winston Churchill.

		Although Lady Charlotte's birth took place in the heyday of the Prince Regent and of Byron, the stage upon which she was to play her first important part was that of the Prince Consort and of Tennyson.
		Lady Charlotte soon became enamoured of the place, and rapidly developed an intense and intelligent interest in the conduct of the ironworks and the life in South Wales.
		Lady Charlotte expected this, had indeed heard the order given, but now that it was done, actually carried into effect, the news of it seemed to fall like lead upon her heart.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Mabinogion/The Mabinogion Tetraology
		Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Guest (née Bertie), daughter of Albemarle Bertie, 9th Earl of Lindsey, was born at Uffington House, Lincolnshire, on the 19th of May 1812.
		Lady Guest studied the Welsh language and literature, and published (3 vols., 1838-1849) The Mabinogion, from the Llyfr Coch o Hergest, and other ancient Welsh Manuscripts, with an English translation and notes, with some help from the Welsh bard, John Jones Tegid.
		Somewhere I cannot recall, I saw Guest's translation compared with Edward William Lane contemporaneous (1838-1840) translation of the 1001 Nights, both were bowdlerized, but both fully captured the mood or aura of the original.

	Early Modern Notes » An English Lady in 19th-century Wales
		Lady Charlotte (born Charlotte Bertie in 1812, daughter of an English earl, brought up in Lincolnshire) came to live in Wales only after her marriage, in 1833, to the wealthy iron-master and MP for Merthyr Tydfil, Sir Josiah John Guest.
		In 1852 her husband died and she took over management of his great ironworks for some years until she married her son’s tutor, Charles Schreiber, and the pair became avid collectors travelling Europe to create what would subsequently become the Schreiber Collection of ceramics in the V & A Museum.
		Later, I should try to follow this up with something on Augusta Hall, Lady Llanover (of whom there’s much to be said about strong womanhood, harps and the invention of Welsh costume).
