About this book
Bess of Hardwick and Her Circle is by Maud Stepney Rawson. A list of books by the same author names, among others, A Lady of the Regency. A picture caption for Hardwick Old Hall, The Giants Chamber, says it is so called from the two colossal figures, dubbed Gog and Magog, in raised plaster-work over the fireplace.
The text says the mansion of the Leeches must be rebuilt for the glory of the Cavendishes. The text says another long letter from Gilbert the go-between gives the quarrel a more serious colour, and that apparently it is the absurd old matter of household tapestries which is the immediate bone of contention. The text says such in many ways was the nature of England’s Elizabeth, yet both women were makers and builders, often blind, always resourceful, achieving immense results in their several capacities.
