Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. In the wake of King George I's death, a bitter feud erupted between Prime Minister Robert Walpole and Lord Chancellor King, and this book delves into the explosive letters that were written during this feud, revealing the deep personal and political animosity between the two men. These letters, from King, Walpole, and Whately, provide an unvarnished account of the rancor and manipulation that characterized this period, shedding light on the inner workings of British politics in the tumultuous years following the Hanoverian succession. The book also explores the broader historical context of this feud, against the backdrop of the Whig ascendancy and the rise of Walpole as the dominant figure in British politics.
