The Art of Dying, and Growing Old Gracefully, in the Early Seventeenth Century
Description
Phoebus Focus XL
Dr Leen Kelchtermans recounts the intriguing life story of Mary Sidney, Lady Herbert, and whisks you away on a journey through time and space, from Mary’s country estate in Wilton to the Ardennes and back again. With her unparalleled attention to detail, the author masterfully connects the English lady’s personal history to the broader historical and cultural context. The result is a Phoebus Focus that is not just about a woman, but about power, splendour and the art of the timeless.
