Discover the intriguing life of Mrs. J. Myddleton, renowned as the great beauty of the Restoration era during the reign of Charles II. This edition presents a compact, fragmentary biography that includes genealogical and topographical notes, key family connections (Needham, Cockayne, Myddelton), and captivating anecdotes about her marriage to Charles Middleton (later Middleton-Myddelton) and her interactions with courtiers, poets, and diplomats. Drawing from contemporary sources like Pepys’s Diary, Count Grammont’s Memoirs, and Evelyn’s Diary, this volume portrays Mrs. Myddelton as a prominent social figure, immersed in the pleasures and intrigues of court life, often accompanied by scandal. The text features a prefatory notice, extensive biographical details, and a later addendum (1880) that provides corrections and updates, situating Mrs. Myddelton within the vibrant social landscape of 1660s London.
