The author's don't seem to care much for Bess, which is fine.
The problem is that they seem to be ignoring evidence and viewing Bess through both a sexist and classist veil.
They make Bess's 4th husband out to be sweetly loving and long suffering but he was actually horribly miserly and even refused to pay for sheets. Kate Hubbard gives a really good account of their marital breakdown in Devices & Desires and i highly recommend it to interested parties though in general I prefer Mary Lovell's Bess of Hardwick.
