A Strong Supporting Cast

This Bloomsbury Academic Collection consists of a wide range of classic titles in history from the early modern period to the end of the 20th century.

Drawing upon a wide range of private papers, this family biography recreates the social and domestic setting of an ambitious family which had been part of the highest levels of political leadership in Britain for almost 150 years, throwing important light upon public and private centres of power and influence from the late 18th to the early 20th century.
