Blessington Memoirs Recount Her Society and Letters
Nemo surveys Marguerite, Countess of Blessington, and her two volumes in Leyland Library. He describes her Ireland birth in 1789 and Paris death in 1849, her circle with D’Orsay and Hemans, her writings The Idler In Italy and The Idler In France, and her influence as a brilliant conversationalist who shaped English literary life in the early 19th century.
