Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 384
A spectacular, salacious and scandalous new biography of the celebrated courtesan, who was famously told, by the Duke of Wellington, to 'publish and be damned.' Born in 1786, by the time she was fifteen Harriette Wilson was well on her way to becoming Regency London's most sought-after courtesan. She counted amongst her conquests the Prince of Wales, the Lord Chancellor, and no less than four future Prime Ministers. There was hardly a young dandy in Mayfair who had not been involved with Harriette, who entranced men with her wit as much as her beauty. But when the Duke of Beaufort put a halt on the payments he had promised her, Harriette decided to avenge herself on the whole pack.
