Cavalier: The Life and Loves of a Royalist Duke
From GBP 10.00
Description
Lucy Worsley takes you on an illustrated seventeenth-century romp through the life of William Cavendish, first Duke of Newcastle, 1593-1676, grandson of the celebrated Bess of Hardwick, and a lover of horses, women and architecture. The ultimate, romantic and doomed ‘Cavalier’, William had a roller-coaster life: entertaining King Charles I at Bolsover Castle and commissioning some of the seventeenth century’s quirkiest and sexiest British art before riding unsuccessfully into battle in the Civil Wars. After a lonely exile in Antwerp, he finally returned to England in the company of his second wife Margaret Cavendish, the feminist writer who invented science fiction. The political tumults of William’s lifetime unfolded against a backdrop of marvellous architecture, especially Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire where where he built a special ‘riding house’ used for teaching his horses how to dance, and where Lucy began her own career as a curator.
