Abstract

Harris returned to the Churchills to describe the relationship between Marlborough and Sidney Godolphin, the latter as lord treasurer providing the vital backing at home which sustained Marlborough's military successes in Europe. This was followed, in 2002, by what is almost certainly Harris's most impressive book, I Transformations of Love: The Friendship of John Evelyn and Margaret Godolphin i , for which she was awarded one of the Wolfson history prizes for 2004. Best known for her three major biographical studies of leading figures in late Stuart Britain, Harris was a curator in the Department of Manuscripts at the British Library at a period when it was making a truly remarkable series of acquisitions in her specialist area.
