Saint James's: Or The Court Of Queen Anne is a historical novel written by William Harrison Ainsworth and published in 1844. The book is set in the early 18th century and follows the lives of various characters who inhabit the court of Queen Anne in St. James's Palace in London. The novel is filled with intrigue, scandal, and political maneuvering as the characters navigate the complex social hierarchy of the court. Ainsworth paints a vivid picture of life in the palace, from the lavish balls and parties to the backroom dealings and secret affairs.The story centers around two main characters: the Duke of Marlborough, a powerful military leader who is also a favorite of Queen Anne, and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a young and ambitious woman who is determined to rise through the ranks of the court. As they navigate the dangerous waters of court politics, they must also contend with their own personal struggles and desires.Through these characters and others, Ainsworth explores themes of power, ambition, love, and betrayal. The novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the English court during a tumultuous period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
