520 0 $aAdmired as a highly gifted artist, championed as a designer and dismissed as a 'whore', Lady Di Beauclerk's life could not have been further from the expected behaviour of the daughter of a duke. In this spellbinding biography, Carola Hicks provides a fascinating account of the scandalous life of a truly enigmatic woman. First-born to the third Duke of Marlborough, Lady Diana Spencer followed a conventional route through to a desperately unhappy marriage to Viscount Bolingbroke. However, defying all convention and expectation, she walked out on her loveless relationship, embarked on a clandestine affair with Topham Beauclerk and managed to hide the birth of an illegitimate child. Supporting herself providing designs for Wedgwood's pottery, and her painting and illustrating, Lady Di became one of the most commended and controversial figures in polite society. -- from back cover.
