JANE AUSTEN AND A BLEACHED STAIN: THE CASE OF LADY BOLTON.
- Authors
Gibbon, Frank
- Abstract
The article critiques the social vision of the novelist Jane Austen in her book "Emma." Lord Bolton, who began life as Thomas Orde married Jean Mary Browne Powlett, who was the illegitimate daughter of Charles, fifth Duke of Bolton (Mary Browne Banks being the name of her mother and Powlett the Duke's family name). By default of male issue the extensive estates of the Dukes of Bolton passed to this lady and through her to her husband, who subsequently took the name of Powlett in 1795 and was created Baron Bolton of Bolton Castle in Yorkshire in 1797.
