Splendour and Squalor by Marcus Scriven

Splendour and Squalor by Marcus Scriven

They were the black sheep of aristocracy and this is their story. From stately homes to the prisons of wartime Britain; from the House of Lords to Edwardian asylums; from the Ritz and the Dorchester to East End dives, Splendour and Squalor tells the fascinating stories of three of Britain's most illustrious aristocratic dynasties and of the black sheep who brought them down.

'Splendour and Squalor is a witty, gossipy and profoundly researched portrait of four particularly dysfunctional 20th century aristocrats' Christopher Hart, Sunday Times

Marcus Scriven read history at Oxford before becoming a journalist, initially at the Sunday Telegraph, then at the Evening Standard. He is a leading contributor to Channel 4's documentary on Victor Hervey, 6th Marquess of Bristol, which broadcast in spring 2009. Splendour & Squalor is his first book.
