- The Scapegoat : The Brilliant Brief Life of the Duke of Buckingham. by Hughes-Hallett, Lucy.;
- 'The Scapegoat' is an extraordinary story of the meteoric rise and fall of King James Is favourite, George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham. With a novelists touch, Lucy Hughes-Hallett transports us into a courtly world of masques and dancing, exquisite clothes, the art of Rubens and Van Dyck, gender-fluidity, sex, and appallingly rudimentary medicine. These were dangerous and complicated times, an era where witch hunts coexisted with Descartian rationality, and Buckingham stood at its center - until his spectacular fall from grace.
