The Favourite: Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough

A portrait of Sarah Churchill, first Dutchess of Malborough (1660-1744). Castigated for traits which might have been applauded in a man, Sarah was described by Dr Johnson as a "good hater". She was instrumental in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and became a strident advocate of Whig principles. She supervised the building of Blenheim Palace and Marlborough House, as well as managing some 27 other estates. Sarah was a compulsive and compelling writer, narrating the major events of her day herself often at centre-stage. This biography brings her voice back to life and casts a critical eye over images of the Duchess in art, history and literature.
