When impoverished artistocrat Lady Charlotte Bertie married wealthy Welsh ironmaster John Guest of Dowlais in 1833, her relatives looked on with dismay. Charlotte championed Welsh culture and translated the Mabinogion into English. She also taught herself John's business from the inside. When John died in 1852, she replaced him as head of the ironworks. This book traces the ardent, creative years of her first marriage, explores her determination - widowed - to preserve John's legacy, and observes her growing devotion to the scholarly Charles Schreiber, her sons' tutor. Black cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w illustrations. x and 214 pages including index. ISBN: 9781526768810. Lower corners of boards bumped else a clean copy.
