Inhaltsangabe

Confidante to George II and Queen Charlotte, right-hand man to Walpole, rival to Alexander Pope, with his arresting looks and his acid tongue Lord Hervey was one of the brightest stars on a glittering stage. Yet for all his hard-won public fame there was a scandalous private side to Hervey which inhibited his rise and, finally, spelt his downfall: his ten-year affair with another man, Stephen Fox. In this entertaining and wonderfully-observed biography, Lucy Moore brings to life an entire age, with its shimmering artifice, poisonous deceit, its highly wrought melodrama and its grand passions.
