Decline to Glory: Salzburg Studies in English Literature, cartea 124

However, all but the first (written under family censorship by her niece, the Duchess of Cleveland) have been undertaken in the hope of achieving commercial success, and thus have suffered from a tendency to ignore "inconvenient" facts. Moreover, many collections of correspondence have surfaced since the last serious biography by Joan Haslip in 1934, which throw new light on almost every aspect of Lady Hester's life.
