Abstract

"The divorce case brought by Lord John Russell against his wife Christabel was cause célèbre of the early twenties. Marshall Hall and Patrick Hastings were among the counsel who displayed their powers in it, and by the time the defendant won, after fighting it through the House of Lords, every corner of her life had been laid bare in the hard light of publicity." - Cover
