The famous beauty Marguerite, Countess of Blessington (1789–1849), presided over one of London's most glittering salons, financed initially by her husband, and, after his death, largely by her literary efforts. This 1855 life and letters, in three volumes, edited by R. R. Madden (1798–1886), documents her intriguing social role.
