New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2011. Political satire, 'secret history' and sexual exposé; from its initial publication in 1808 Sarah Green’s "The Private History of the Court of England" was met with a divided but impassioned critical reaction. Much of this response was due to Green's scathing parody of the Prince of Wales through depicting the increasing corruption of 'heir apparent' (later Edward IV) during the troubled life of Henry VI.
