Elizabeth Linley, the Britney Spears of her age. This is the true story of ambition, jealousy, betrayal and passionate love.
Bath, 1772: Elizabeth Linley, one of Britain’s most celebrated singers of the time, wildly famous, celebrated for her charisma and beauty, suddenly and mysteriously disappears from her family home, No.11 Royal Crescent, Bath. Living under the coercive control of a domineering father, she was the Britney Spears of her age.
Later, trapped in a miserable marriage to the playwright Richard Sheridan, yet the unacknowledged genius behind his most famous plays. Elizabeth navigates the scandalous world of society dominated by The Prince of Wales and Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and the perils of political intrigue, manipulated by Fox and Pitt. This is the true story of ambition, jealousy, betrayal and passionate love.
Thomas Messel, the author of The Nightingale of Bath, will present an engaging talk about his book followed by the opportunity to ask questions and buy signed copies.
