The Coterie
The Coterie comprised a fashionable and famous set of English aristocrats and intellectuals of the 1910s, widely quoted and profiled in magazines and newspapers of the period. It adopted the hostile description as a "corrupt coterie".
Many were the children of The Souls. Its members included: Lady Diana Manners, the most famous beauty in England; Raymond Asquith, son of the Prime Minister and a famed barrister; Patrick Shaw-Stewart, a managing director of Barings Bank and war poet; Edward Horner , Duff Cooper and Sir Denis Anson . World War I destroyed the original Coterie, taking the lives of Horner, Shaw-Stewart and Asquith.
