3560. Caroline of England: An Augustan Portrait, by Peter Quennell (read 18 Mar 2002) I have read biographies of most of the English sovereigns, but never found one of George II. This is a biography of his Queen, and she was a dominant character in his reign until she died 20 Nov 1737, so it serves as a biography of him for at least part of his reign, though he lived till 1760. As an addict of royal biography--going back to Bertita Harding, whose popular
accounts of royals I read with avidity in the 1940s--I found this an interesting book, though it lacks all scholarly apparatus and evinces no original research. ( )
