Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beautiful Lady Craven, Vol. 1 of 2: The Original Memoirs of Elizabeth Baroness Craven Afterwards Margravine of Anspach and Bayreuth and Princess Berkeley of the Holy Roman Empire (1750-1828) When Elizabeth, Margravine of Brandenburgh, Anspach, and Bayreuth, and Princess Berkeley of the Holy Roman Empire, published her Autobiographical Memoirs in 1826, she was in her seventy-sixth year. The appearance of the book, abounding as it does in personal and often pungent reminiscences, unquestionably aroused considerable interest both in England and on the Continent, for the versatile writer during the last decade of the eighteenth and the first two decades of the nineteenth centuries, disregarding the social veto of her kinswoman Queen Charlotte, had contrived to make her Court at Brandenburgh House in Hammersmith and Benham Valence, Newbury, sometimes called Benham Place and Benham Park, a social imperium in imperio. In this task she had achieved a great measure of success, for the entertainments over which she presided, first as the wife of the Margrave of Anspach and then as his widow, were probably infinitely more amusing than those given at the Queen´s House, Windsor, Kew, Frogmore or Weymouth.
