Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Most Gorgeous Lady Blessington Strange as the statement may seem, it is not less true that no luminous biography of Lady Blessington has been written: strange because her life presents in itself a romance such as facts seldom contain or combine; such as Fate denies to ordinary mortals. Virtue and happiness, beautiful and enviable as they are, afford meagre material for memoirs. It is they whose swift-stirred sympathies and longings for happiness carry them beyond the pale of the commonplace and the bonds of conventionality, whose loves are ill-starred and whose lives are shadowed; they who strive and suffer, who aspire and falter, who possess and present studies that move and fascinate us. Their heart histories appeal from out the past for green places in our memories. Of such was the gifted and beautiful Irishwoman - ´the most gorgeous Lady Blessington´ as she was styled by Dr Parr, and as she was known to her intimates - whose biography is here written with an admiration that borders on affection, and with that sympathy which sorrow solicits.
