Valentine Low: Power and the Palace, Gebunden

Klappentext

Praise for
COURTIERS

'Illuminating . . . These figures have hovered in the backgrounds of the palaces over the years, clearing their throats like characters in Act II of Hamlet , and Low helpfully sorts them out and immortalises their moments of success or failure - or more often initial success followed by being cast into outer darkness'
The Times

'Low's enjoyable account . . . chronicles, and explains, the role of those courtiers whose role comes closest to public accountability . . . there are tantalising unattributed snippets from private interviews . . . Low's conclusion is a valuable one'
Telegraph

'This book is riveting. Extraordinarily well written, it canters along, packed with impeccable inside information. Low . . . is one of the exceptional minds writing about the British monarchy today'
Literary Review

'Courtiers is a suave history of the monarchy over the past century, seen through the prism of those who serve it . . . a remarkable insight . . . and an important addition'
Spectator

'Engaging and thoroughly researched . . . Low doesn't stint on insider gossip, thanks to his unprecedented access to royal households, and he has perceptive things to say about power and responsibility too'
Observer
