The Diary of the Lady Anne Clifford

Sackville-West, Vita
1923 (First Edition). William Heinemann , London, England

In her diaries Lady Anne Clifford documents both the great and the trivial events of her long life. They cover her life from her childhood days, when she witnessed the funeral of Queen Elizabeth I, to her last months, when she recalled her past life from her room in Brougham Castle. Lady Anne's life, from her active life at court as the Countess of Dorset (residing at Knole in Kent), her turbulent second marriage to the 4th Earl of Pembroke at Wilton in Wiltshire, and her final, long-disputed succession to her father's lands in Westmorland and North Yorkshire. Fold out Genealogical table to rear, rough cut edges to pages, 4 b&w full page portraits, introduction by Vita Sackville-West.
