Rounding, Virginia Catherine The Great - Love, Sex and Power
London Hutchinson 2006 0091799929 / 9780091799922 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
First Edition, First Printing. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. 566 pages, 11 coloured portraits. An excellent biography of the Empress Catherine II, the Great of Russia, whose reign was the longest in Russian history and who built on the work begun by Peter the Great. Her succession of lovers was the subject of gossip throughout Europe, yet she was not even Russian by birth and had no legitimate claim to the Russian throne. Using many of Catherine's own words from her voluminous correspondence and other documents, contemporary accounts by courtiers, ambassadors and foreign visitors, the author presents a penetrating analysis of her character.
