Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish Journal of Elizabeth, Lady Holland, 1910 The present volume of Lady Holland's journal deals with the accounts of two journeys in Spain, the first in 1802-05, the second in 1808-09. These were omitted when the two former volumes were published. The first part tells the story of the travels of the Hollands and their party at some length, and gives descriptions of many of the objects of interest which they visited. I have omitted or shortened the less important details as much as possible, and have endeavoured to confine the narrative to those incidents which seem of special interest or which bear on the character and customs of the Spaniards. Any mention also of institutions or buildings which suffered in the wars or have disappeared since that time, has been retained. The anecdotes and gossip of the Court may be of interest to the descendants of those concerned, and I have attempted very shortly to identify the various members of the families to whom reference is made. The second portion of the Journal deals almost exclusively with the incidents of the early part of the Peninsular War. Lord Holland's name was well known in Spain, and his sympathy with the cause was apparent to many outside his own circle of friends. Thus he was in a position to obtain much information which would not have been vouchsafed to the ordinary traveller.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish Journal of Elizabeth, Lady Holland During the stay of the Hollands in Seville they were in close communication with many members of the Central Junta. Naturally, their views on the situation carried much weight, and Lady Holland's remarks are frequently tinged. With a thoroughly Spanish flavour. This is especially noticeable in her comments on Moore and his campaign. Frere was at her elbow, despatches were continually arriving from La Romana - the two men who had considered themselves slighted by the British general; and it was as yet too early for the inhabitants of the South to realise the debt of gratitude which in reality they owed to Moore for his strategic retreat. It is curious to note in contemporary records of the war the complete spirit of self-satisfaction in which the Spanish leaders were accustomed to pencil their despatches, whatever was the nature of their contents. Defeat was often described on paper as victory, and the truth of a report was sometimes only to be judged in the light of subsequent events. It can be no matter Of surprise that on the spot it was difficult to differentiate between fact and fancy. Even in dealing with letters from British commanders a remarkable divergence of Opinion is manifest. This is well illustrated by those from Lord Paget and Sir Robert Wilson, which are included in the Appendix. Though operating only a few hundred miles apart, their ideas of the Spanish character and disposition will be found to be entirely different. The one mistrusted every action, report, or emissary of the Spaniards; the other praised their perseverance and their ardour in the cause of liberty. The Journal is thus valuable as a sidelight upon the history of the war, and as evidence of the contradictory rumours and petty jealousies which were so common at the time. I have taken the Opportunity of inserting a number of unpublished letters in the Appendix, which may be of some interest to students of these early campaigns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100 notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of British life. Most of the lives included are those of women whose work took them in some way before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role in broadening the horizons of women. Also included are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society hostesses. Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this newly re-worked edition includes key figures who have died in the last 20 years, such as The Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings and Christina Foyle.

Download or read book Holland House written by Linda Kelly and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in the heart of London's Holland Park are the remains of Holland House – the site of what was once England's most celebrated political salon. In the first thirty years of the nineteenth century – when the Whig party were almost constantly out of office - the home of the third Lord Holland became the unofficial centre of the Opposition. Devoted to the ideals of Charles James Fox – the prominent Whig statesman who was also Lord Holland's uncle – and enriched by the progressive views of a new generation of writers, critics and politicians, the influence of Holland House permeated the political climate. Combining politics and the arts, the salon attracted the greatest names of the age - Byron, Thomas Macaulay, Talleyrand and Madame de Staël all dined at Holland House. At a time when revolutions threatened to engulf Europe, the Whig tradition of aristocratic liberalism - avoiding the extremes of radicalism and reaction – proved to be one of the chief factors in the peaceful achievement of parliamentary reform, epitomised by the Great Reform Act of 1832. The embodiment of this tradition was Holland House. The salon was presided over by Lady Holland - a magnetic hostess. Beautiful and clever she had left her much-older husband, Sir Godfrey Webster, to marry Lord Holland and as a result was ostracised in many London drawing rooms. But in Holland House, society would come to her. Lady Holland was in the thick of Whig discussions, occasionally following her own political line. She had a special passion for Napoleon and sent him over a thousand books in St Helena. Occupying a key position in the political and cultural life of the age, Holland House was a unique and important force at a time of great political change. Linda Kelly brings to life the colourful world of Holland House, providing a vivid portrait of London's greatest political salon.
