Condizione: Very Good. 8 pages. A lively examination of Mrs Serresâs elaborate selfâ'fashioning as a royal descendant, tracing the forged documents, shifting narratives and public performances that sustained her claim. The article treats her story as a curious blend of social ambition, theatricality and the periodâs appetite for scandal. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 12 x 20 cms. Category: Gentleman's Magazine; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages).…

A work first published in 1832, the title page of this reissue states "This is a faithful reprint of a work, which produced an extraordinary sensation on its first appearance fifty-one years ago, and was speedily suppressed. It is the same, too, for which the sum of a Thousand Pounds was offered in New York about nine years ago." In fact, the work is by Olivia Serres, a British painter and writer, also known as an imposter who claimed the title of Princess Olive of Cumberland. Serres was a friend of Lady Anne Hamilton. In 1832, Hamilton, a lady-in waiting to Queen Caroline, wrote 'The Authentic Records of the Court of England for the Last Seventy Years'. It contained may accusations of scandal and salaciousness, and her publisher, J Phillips was prosecuted and convicted for its publication. Phillips fled into exile. Serres then produced an expanded version of Hamilton's text, adding more scandals, accusations of financial malpractice and criminal activity, including murder, which was published in two volumes under the title 'The Secret History of the Court of England' and still credited to Lady Anne Hamilton. For her part, Lady Anne disclaimed the work. 'Secret History', as 'The Authentic Record' before it, was suppress in the UK but widely reprinted in the United States. Offered for rebinding or reference only, given the condition.…
