The author uses a visit to the National Portrait Gallery to review Honverian history, thus the lovely plates throughout the book (most in b&w, some in color). Travel through the age, from the accession of George I in 1714 to around 1800. Right at the end, while discussing literary arts, he lands firmly on Jane Austen and her portrait is the last one in the book. Intro, Time Chart, Bibliography, Index.
