Produced by David Widger
"The Memoirs of Count Grammont — Volume 06" by Count Anthony Hamilton is a historical account reflecting the intrigues and romances at the English court during the late 17th century. This volume continues the witty and entertaining reflections of Count Grammont, a French nobleman at the English court, exploring the complex relationships and social dynamics among various individuals, particularly the young maidens and their suitors. Written in a period characterized by elaborate court culture and personal rivalries, the book provides insight into the behaviors and mores of the time. In this volume, the narrative is steeped in the machinations and romantic entanglements surrounding Miss Temple, Miss Hobart, and Lord Rochester, among others. The dynamics of jealousy, affection, and social manipulation play out as characters navigate the pitfalls of court life. As various love intrigues unfold, Miss Temple grapples with her feelings towards Lord Rochester while becoming entangled in misunderstandings and the gossip of jealous rivals. Meanwhile, Rochester and Killegrew plot their schemes involving masked encounters and masquerades to further complicate the delicate balance of love and honor at court.
