Marriage To William Graham
The increasingly radical nature of her work and her scandalous marriage to William Graham in 1778 (she was 47, he was 21) damaged her reputation in Britain, where she lived in Bath, Leicestershire and then Binfield in Berkshire. Her histories continued to be popular in America. They provided an interpretation of British history as a constant struggle for virtue and liberty not yet achieved, and played a significant role in the formation of revolutionary ideology.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or graham:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“You had disadvantages. You’re insane.”
—Michael Mann, U.S. screenwriter. Will Graham (William Petersen)
