As part of the English Riviera Literature Festival 2023:
The Passionate Life of Georgina, Duchess of Bedford with author, Rachel Trethewey.

Yet she also kept a handsome lover over 20 years her junior – the famous artist Edwin Landseer – who adored her till the day he died. Georgina’s controversial life caused scandal even in that decadent era.
