Descrizione

Spanning three continents and two eras, here is the story of the love affair between the playboy Prince of Wales, Edward VII, and Lilly Langtry, the greatest international beauty of her day. Together they set a new standard of splendor and sensuality for an entire era-the golden Edwardian Age.Their conjunction was virtually inevitable, and their affair, played out over three decades, set the very unbuttoned tone of London society, released by the Prince, the Lily, and the Marlborough House set from the long, bleak, mourning-clad winter of Victorian respectability. and burned as bright as the Edwardian era it inaugurated. alive with all the pageantry and personalities of an extraordinarily splendid time and with a sweep and grandeur that suggest the inexorable play of historic forces on the individual destiny 372p.plates index;
