Henrietta Howard, later Countess of Suffolk, was the long-term
mistress and confidante of King George II. She was also, as Tracy
Borman's wonderfully readable biography reveals, a dedicated patron
of the arts; a lively and talented intellectual in her own right; a
victim of adultery; a passionate advocate for the rights of women
long before the dawn of feminism. Above all she was a woman of
reason in an Age of Reason. The mark that this enigmatic and
largely neglected royal mistress left on the society and culture of
early Georgian England was to resonate well beyond the confines of
the court, and can still be felt today.
