I really enjoyed this book. I did not think the author jumped around any more than any other biographer telling a complex story about complex people. I thought she did a great job sorting out what various people have said about Sarah, starting with comments made about her in her lifetime. The author says things like, "this is what Sarah said about her role in the event in 1710 ... and this is what she said about the same event in 1740." I found these comparisons of what she said about herself very interesting. I have read about her in several biographies of her contemporaries (Queen Anne, for instance), but this is the first time I began to see her as an actual person -- complex, intelligent, passionate, interesting. I think I'll read it again! By the way, the author's source material is so extensive that listing them all takes up about 45% of the total book! Fascinating, well-researched, well-written, worth reading again.
There seem to be lots of authenticity throughout this book....but as to the style I never got the desire to finish. I do not enjoy books written with just facts and facts, so many names and never taking it to a story level. I am a th
still very excited when I receive it! A little disappointed with it being received little banged up it seems like it was you I thought I bought it new maybe its used like new I don't know....
Quite frankly, this biography rambles and goes back and forth in its timeline, which, if you know nothing, or like me don't remember most of this period of British history, is downright confusing and disappointing. I stopped reading early on, glad I got the book for free and hadn't wasted my money.And, by the way, I AM an Anglophile, loving all things British, but this book just couldn't get it together.
Book exactly as ordered. Not a good bio.
I found this book valuable because unlike other books I have read it makes a serious attempt to evaluate Sarah Churchill's politics.I became interested in Sarah Churchill after reading Hibbert's 'popular' biography of the Marlboroughs, which I enjoyed immensely. However he tends to skirt the issue of Sarah's politics, partly on the not unreasonable grounds that Queen Anne burnt nearly all her letters. What Hibbert does do is paint a very charming sketch of Sarah in the years after her husband died however.I then read Gregg's biography of Queen Anne which I think very highly of. It kicks into touch the notion that Queen Anne was a nonentity, a trap which I am not entirely sure Ms Field escapes. I am not always sure of what Ms Field thinks, she is a very bright post-modern historian who likes to do her research and present all viewpoints.Gregg however makes it clear that Anne was very conscious of her role as a servant of England who felt that keeping a balance between the influences of the political parties was crucial. Anne was an introvert, and apparently, rather like Cromwell, had a dialogue with her creator going which once she was monarch may have sustained her rather more than her friendship with Sarah Churchill, whose influence no doubt had been vital in the years leading up to her assuming the throne because of the confidence it had given her.It is clear that Ms Field thinks Sarah was more than a beautiful/annoying vamp who attached herself to Marlborough/Anne and stole headlines. I am sure she is right in thinking this and the virtue of this book is that it makes a sustained effort to draw out a picture of Sarah as a player, and presents a picture of her as a conviction politician, whatever else she was.I wonder if in fact a key fact in Sarah's life was her role in securing a healthy allowance for Anne before she assumed the throne, for which Anne was very grateful, and to achieve which Sarah had to stick her neck out bigtime. When once she became monarch Anne started to distance herself from Sarah's views, Sarah kicked out.
Sarah Churchill, 1st Duchess of Marlborough gained notoriety through three things:1. She was a lady-in-waiting/best friend to Queen Anne of England. She took this position of power for granted, treating the Queen much like a dumb child. She felt it was her right to instruct the Queen on appropriate political decisions and appointments at court. When Sarah became too pushy and arrogant, the Queen severed the friendship, leading to a very public fall from favour.2. She was married to the military man John Churchill, who defeated Louis XIV's French army in the early 1700s (A big thing at the time - remember England and France were arch enemies). This victory led Queen Anne to give John and Sarah titles (Duke and Duchess of Marlborough) and a huge government grant to build a massive palace with - Blenheim, which still stands today outside of Oxford UK.3. Her direct descendents include Winston Churchill and Diana, Princess of Wales. Ophelia Field has written a biography which covers all these events, and also tells us objectively about the woman herself. She does not attempt to paint a rosy picture of Sarah, who could be stubborn and domineering. At the same time, she explains WHY Sarah did certain things (based on letters she wrote to family and friends - many excerpts included), and why her political views were as they were. Crucially, she discusses how Sarah's support of the Whig party, her deep rooted belief in their righteousness, developed into a fanatacism which led to her fall from the Queen's favour and high society. Queen Anne is also brought to life as a woman all her own, though her reign was short. This biography was informative, educational (about the political and aristocratic climate of the time 1680s-1720s), and fascinating. It portrayed a modern woman ahead of her time. I feel if I had met Sarah Churchill, I may not have liked her (she polarised people - you either loved or hated her), but I certainly would have respected and admired her.
