Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The author offers an anecdote-packed study of 'godhead, eccentricity, noblesse oblige, self-indulgence and landlordism'; but his eye for the outrageous does not prevent him from paying tribute to those dukes to whom humanity has been much indebted. This book surveys the dukes of Great Britain in their prime, chiefly in the 18th and 19th centuries.
