The Lady of Beauty (Agnes Sorel)

0/5 ( ratings)

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

Agnes Sorel, I sympathise with them to some extent in their endeavour to deprive the Lady of Beauty of the exaggerated sway and charm she possesses in the eyes of more romantic writers. On the other hand, I have read all the traditions that have grown up around her with a sense of enjoyment that serious history alone can never give. If in writing her biography I have been unduly influenced by the less important works, I can only say, in extenuation of these lapses from the path of authenticated fact, that the feeling inspired by Agnes Sorel slovable personality tends to disarm the criticism and defy the analytic judgment which should be indispensable weapons in the historians armoury. FRANK HAMEL. LONDON, Spring,
