very sophisticated work

Real things, very elegant works.

The British monarchy is a hundred years old. On the eve of the French Revolution, the Duke of Devonshire and his wife Georgiana have different dreams in the same bed. In the end, the husband and wife compromised with each other, forming a family structure in which two daughters served one husband together.

The object of Georgiana's derailment was not simple. It was Charles Grey, a member of the House of Commons who supported American independence and the French Revolution at that time. Because Earl Grey reined in this extramarital affair and did not break up the duke's family, he was not obstructed by the duke on the road to the British Prime Minister.

Such works have a common feature: aristocratic life, family concept, political conspiracy, revolutionary ideals, moral constraints, and emotional entanglements are intertwined. Often by focusing on the social circle of the upper class, the general situation of the society at that time can be vividly presented. The reason is simple, history is always written by the elites of those times.

In the same way, it is probably the same for future generations to write about our era.
