The remarkable Mary Nisbet was the Countess of Elgin in
Romantic-era Scotland and the wife of the seventh Earl of Elgin.
When Mary accompanied her husband to diplomatic duty in Turkey, she
changed history. She helped bring the smallpox vaccine to the
Middle East, struck a seemingly impossible deal with Napoleon, and
arranged the removal of famous marbles from the Parthenon. But all
of her accomplishments would be overshadowed, however, by her
scandalous divorce. Drawing from Mary's own letters, scholar Susan
Nagel tells Mary's enthralling, inspiring, and suspenseful story in
vibrant detail.
