Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating study of the Wortley family, an influential lineage with a rich history spanning over eight centuries. Set within the landscape of Wortley, a region that was part of the historic Domesday survey, the narrative traces the family's lineage from its earliest known progenitor, Alanus de Wortley, to the present day. Exploring the complex tapestry of power, marriage, and ambition that shaped the Wortleys' destiny, the author sheds light on the family's rise to prominence through strategic alliances, land acquisitions, and political maneuvering. The book delves into the lives of notable figures such as Sir Thomas Wortley, who served as squire and knight to four kings, and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a celebrated writer and pioneer of smallpox inoculation. Beyond its genealogical focus, this book also delves into the broader historical and social context of the times, examining themes of warfare, politics, and the changing roles of women. The author's research draws from a wealth of archival sources, including letters, diaries, and legal documents, providing an in-depth and nuanced understanding of the family's motivations and experiences. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating and insightful exploration of a family whose history is inextricably intertwined with the fabric of British society and culture. Its detailed account of the Wortleys' triumphs and tribulations illuminates the interplay between individual agency and the forces that shape our destinies.
