The lugubrious Old Pretender; the bewildered Cardinal Duke of York (later the Cardinal King); the unconventional blue-stocking Countess of Albany and her fiery lover, the poet Alfieri: however squalid, intrigue-ridden or bizarre their lives in the political hothouse of eighteenth-century Italy, James Lees-Milne tells their stories with his customary wit and learning lightly worn, and the result is a book that combines the narrative dash and anecdotal wealth of a Nancy Mitford with the graceful scholarship of his earlier historical studies.
