Mary Granville Delany is best remembered for her paper collages of flora the majority
of which are at the British Museum This captivating new biography pulls back the lens
to place Delany's artistic creations in the broader context of her family life relationships
with royalty and links to early feminist debates on marriage A comprehensive work
written for a general audience this life provides rich details of the era including
Delany's many friendships with prominent figures such as Methodist leader John Wesley
composer G F Handel and England's leading patron of science Margaret 2nd Duchess of
Portland Clarissa Campbell Orr is a noted authority on the eighteenthcentury court
and queenship and this volume restores Delany to her proper place in the era's aristocratic
society revealing her as far more than an apparently poor genteel widow befriended
by George III and Queen Charlotte
