Über den Autor

Jane Ridley is Lutyens's great-granddaughter, and this biography was authorised by his last surviving daughter, Mary, who died in 1999. Jane Ridley has read over 5,000 letters between Ned Lutyens and his wife Emily, and she travelled to New Delhi and Washington to research her book, which paints a devastating yet entertaining picture of Edwardian society. Jane Ridley is an historian at Buckingham University where she teaches a course on biography. Her previous books include The Letters of Edwin Lutyens (co-edited with Clayre Percy), The Letters of Arthur Balfour and Lady Elcho (co-edited with Clayre Percy) and The Young Disraeli described by Andrew Marr in the Independent as 'a rich, dense and thoughtful biography which may-become the definitive one', and by John Grigg in the Sunday Telegraph as 'a major new biography-it is difficult to see her work being superseded'.
