Description: Henrietta Howard, later Countess of Suffolk, was the long-term mistress and confidante of King George II. This book provides an insight into the dynamics of the Georgian court, and reveals a woman who was far more than the mistress to the King: a dedicated patron of the arts; and, a lively and talented intellectual in her own right.
