HARTCUP, ADELINE

Children of the Great Country Houses

London, Sidgwick and Jackson. 1982, First. (ISBN: 0283988266). Hard Cover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 220 pages. 33 illustrations. 'I shall not be sorry when you come to keep the boys in order, for they have neither the respect of children, nor the good breeding of gentlemen, particularly Johnny, who talks of bad French novels and altogether wants repressing.' Thus Lady Stanley of Alderley wrote to her husband in 1852, highlighting some of the attitudes of the period. The lives of the children who lived in Britain's great country houses during the 19th century were a mixed scenario, including dysfunctional and remote families as well as close and loving ones. Drawing on diaries, letters, memoirs, and photo albums, Adeline Hartcup tells of nannies, tutors, and governesses, treats and punishments, and of ideas about God, death, and sex. She provides close-up portraits of five of the great families - Howards, Cecils, Russells, Lyttletons, and Gladstones - but also looks beyond the park gates, to the children who did not inherit the privileges that wealth and status conferred. 21. Near Fine/Near Fine.
