"Offers all the sumptuous visual pleasures of a historical costume drama, yet little in the way of actual history" (VAR)

"An overstuffed, intellectually underbaked portrait of a poor little rich girl." (NYT)

Kuriosa

FAKTA:

Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (7 June 1757 ? 30 March 1806), born Georgiana Spencer, was the first wife of William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire and mother of William George Spencer Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire. Her father, John Spencer, 1st Earl Spencer, was a great-grandson of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. Her niece was Lady Caroline Lamb. Among her descendants is the present Duke of Devonshire (via her granddaughter); Diana, Princess of Wales (born Lady Diana Spencer) is descended from Georgiana's family as well. Georgiana was a celebrated beauty and a socialite who gathered around her a large circle of literary and political figures?a salon. She was also an active political campaigner in an age when women's suffrage was still over a century away. Both the Spencers and the Cavendishes were Whigs. Georgiana campaigned for the Whigs?particularly for a distant cousin, Charles James Fox?at a time when the King (George III) and his Ministers had more direct influence over the House of Commons, principally through their power of patronage. During the 1784 general election, the Duchess was rumored to have traded kisses for votes in favor of Fox and was famously satirised by Thomas Rowlandson in his print "THE DEVONSHIRE, or Most Approved Method of Securing Votes". Georgiana married the incumbent Duke of Devonshire on 6 June 1774. The marriage was a brilliant but unhappy one, with the couple mismatched by temperament. (The Cavendishes' marriage was famously satirised in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play, School for Scandal, where a young wife from the country, Lady Elizabeth Foster had two children by the Duke?a son and daughter. When the Duchess died, her husband married Bess Foster?and promptly set up a new mistress. At his death, his son by his first wife Georgiana became 6th Duke but died unmarried. He was succeeded by a first cousin once removed William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire (1808-1891), who was widower of the 6th Duke's niece and Georgiana's granddaughter Lady Blanche Howard.
