Archivist Jean Bray uses the letters and papers of Lady Emma Dent (nee Brocklehurst), the 19th century chatelaine (Through marriage) of Gloucestershire's Sudeley Castle. The author crafts a perfectly acceptable Life from said resources, but it's not particularly interesting to the average reader. Locals, people with a huge interest in the Dent-Brocklehursts and their castle, may seize on details of how the Beech Avenue was laid out, and minor points of the family's life, but this is not a biography which brings the character vividly to life, and it all falls a bit flat. Read in preparation for a planned trip to Sudeley next week, ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Lady of Sudeley was Emma Brocklehurst who in 1847 married John Coucher Dent and spent nearly 50 years of her life as the chatelaine of Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire. A remarkable woman with wide-ranging interests and prodigious energy Emma Dent devoted herself to the restoration of the Castle and to the people of the nearby Cotsold town of Winchcombe, as well as finding time to amass an amazing collection of artefacts which are now on permanent display at the Castle. With ane eye to posterity she also left a valuable legacy of diaries, letters and papers which Jean Bray has skilfully woven into this story of her life and times from her childhood in Macclesfield to her life at Sudeley. This new edition of the book includes an unique collection of illustrations from the Sudeley Castle archives. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
