To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For John Charles was that rare and irresistible phenomenon – an honest, genuinely good man. In his way he was also a great man. Gladstone called him ‘the very best leader of the House of Commons that any party ever had’. And Sarah Marlborough’s biographer, Frances Harris, believes that in him, ‘Sarah’s desire to found a great and politically responsible family, endowed with her own fortune, was finally realised’. He was born at Spencer House on 30 May 1782, and his fate -and with it the fate of ...several future generations of Spencers – seems to have been dictated by his early reaction to that sharp-tongued, deeply unmaternal woman, his mother Lavinia, second Countess Spencer. Disliking the whole process of human reproduction, she was unable to forgive her first-born child for the discomfort and pain he caused her at his birth. She neglected him during her long trips abroad and when he showed genuine affection for his father she could not forgive him for that either. Children have a way of turning into what their parents want them not to be and, as he grew, John Charles became what he may have thought would give his mother most displeasure – he was graceless, incoherent, slow of speech and distinctly dull.
