Lady Eleanor Butler was 29 when she first met Sarah Ponsonby, a sensitive, retiring girl of 13. Ten years later, in 1778, the two ladies eloped. Amid scenes of scandal and havoc they settled in a cottage in Llangollen where their unorthodox relationship blossomed and their way of living became a legend. Lady Caroline Lamb and Josiah Wedgwood visited them, Wordsworth and Southey wrote poetry under their roof and other celebrities of the day, such as the Duke of Wellington, became their friends.

The Ladies of Llangollen is the first book length critical study of Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby, whose 1778 elopement and five decades of “retirement” turned them into eighteenth century celebrities and pivotal figures in the historiography of female same-sex desire. Debates within the history of sexuality have long foundered over questions of what constitutes “proof” of past sexual desires and practices, and the nature of Butler and Ponsonby’s intimacy has been deemed inimical to productive critical consideration. In this ground-breaking study Fiona Brideoake attends to the archive of their shared life—written, performed, and enacted in the vernacular of the everyday—to argue that they embodied an early iteration of female celebrity in which their queerness registered less as the mark of some specified non-normativity than as the effect of their very public, very visible resistance to sexual legibility. Throughout their lives and afterlives, Butler and Ponsonby have been figured as chaste romantic friends, prototypical lesbians, Bluestockings, Romantic domestic archetypes, and proleptically feminist modernists. The Ladies of Langollen demonstrates that this heterogeneous legacy discloses the queerness of their performatively instantiated identities.

"Lady Butler and Miss Ponsonby were certainly an odd pair. Born to noble Irish families in the mid Eighteenth Century, they departed in 1778 - flew away like wild geese - to Wales where they settled together in a three-bay stone-built cottage in Llangollen which they re-named Plas Newydd ('the New Mansion'). Professedly living in retirement from the world, they moved in local society, received successions of distinguished visitors, espoused eccentricity, and made it their business to become a legend in their lifetime. They transformed their house, adding a Gothic library and much else. The porch and door are a riot of fragments, and the tiny entrance hall and the staircase are indescribably encrusted. So too is the Oak Room, with its Spanish leather, dated 1814 above the fireplace. They installed a great deal of stained glass. They had a mania for collecting carved oak. The grand house, Plas Newydd, is in a fine state of preservation, care of the County Council, and is well worth exploring, inside and out. It stands in memory of two of the most peculiar and interesting people ever to be part of the long and varied history of North Wales"--Amazon.com.
