Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Holland House Circle This book does not purport to be a connected account of Holland House, since that ground has already been covered by Princess Liechtenstein in her well-known work on the subject, by Faulkner, the historian of Kensington, in a chapter based on information supplied by the third Lord Holland, and by Leigh Hunt, who, in his pleasant, allusive style, recorded his personal impressions in "An Old Court Suburb." It is concerned rather with persons than the place. The earlier annals of Holland House have been rapidly summarised, and I have devoted my attention mainly to its most brilliant age; a period which may be defined, in general terms, as coinciding with the first forty years of last century. The materials for a survey of that famous society have been collected by a somewhat wide and minute study of contemporary memoirs and correspondence; but mere lists of those present at particular dinners have been omitted, as calculated to produce but little information and much tedium.
