Publisher's Summary

From the Gilded Age until 1914, more than 100 American heiresses invaded Britannia and swapped dollars for titles - just like Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham, the first of the Downton Abbey characters Julian Fellowes was inspired to create after reading To Marry An English Lord. Filled with vivid personalities, gossipy anecdotes, grand houses, and a wealth of period details-plus quotes and the finer points of Victorian and Edwardian etiquette - To Marry An English Lord is social history at its liveliest and most accessible.

What the critics say

"In your very flattering article about books that might please fans of Downton Abbey, I was sorry that one title was missing: To Marry an English Lord.... It is a marvelous and entertaining study." (Julian Fellowes, writer and creator of Downton Abbey)

Absolutely loved it

What a great book! So much history and told it a fun way. Loved the narrator. The only thing is that each chapter lasts 1 hour or more and for someone like me who does other things at the same time, going back to something you missed is difficult.

High hopes dashed after 2 chapters

I didn't like the way it was written or the narrator. The first two chapters set the scene in New York but I got lost in the description of the different sects of rich society and then I found I didn't really care so I stopped listening. Not and engaging story.
