What Is History ?

London, Penguin. 1982, Reprint. (ISBN: 0140206523) Pbk. Book, "'Who is to say how things really were? In formulating a modern answer to the question 'What is History?

Storming the Castle: The World of Dora and the Duchess

Toronto, Key Porter Books. 1998, 1st Can Ed. (ISBN: 1550139991) Hardcover. Book, "..tells the colourful, upstairs/downstairs saga of two remarkable, unsung women of the Edwardian era, whose lives would intersect in Canada at that era's precipitous end. While the ninth Duchess of Devonshire and her cook were born to as different destinies as can be imagined, those destinies were forged in a singular historical moment. These were the last, golden days of Empire, remembered as much for their splendour and pageantry as for utter obliteration in the First World War. In this, la belle epoque, Ritz and Escoffier would reinvent magnificently the trappings of leisure, while women would attempt to reinvent the sexual hierarchy. This was the social and political backdrop in which Evelyn Lansdowne and Dorothea Mary Lee would find themselves.."345p. plates. bibliography.index. Fine/Fine.
