"TERRIBLY INTIMATE PORTRAITS" by Noel Coward is a collection of whimsical character sketches written in the early 20th century. The book appears to encapsulate a range of humorous and satirical portrayals of historical and fictional figures, blending elements of biography and fiction with lighthearted commentary. Coward's unique style brings to life an array of eclectic characters, infusing them with personality and charm while poking fun at societal norms and eccentricities. At the start of the work, Coward directly addresses criticism he has received regarding the accuracy of his character portraits, defending himself with flamboyant wit. The opening consists of a foreword outlining his intent to capture the essence and spirit of his subjects rather than their strict historical accuracy. Through the lens of humor, he introduces a series of characters, including Julie de Poopinac, known for her beauty and wit amidst the backdrop of courtly intrigue, and Madcap Moll, the spirited Duchess of Wapping, celebrated for her adventurous spirit. Each sketch promises to be a blend of historical significance and amusing storytelling, setting the stage for reviews of both real and imagined lives with the author's signature flair.
