Eminent Georgians: The Lives of King George V, Elizabeth Bowen, st John Philby, & Nancy Astor

The author of the bestselling The Life of Jane Austen illuminates the connections among four fascinating people and the age in which they lived–the second Georgian age, the period in England between the two world wars. Halperin considers the impact that these leading figures had on their era, as well as the extent to which they themselves were shaped by the age in which they lived.
