By George Payne Rainsford James

Book Overview

A sweeping, atmospheric ascent into Victorian shadows and splendour. A tale where romance, politics and peril mingle beneath candlelit parlours and embattled streets. De L'Orme presents a finely wrought blend of historical fiction and gothic fiction, anchored in the era's social tensions and intricate entanglements. James's bustling European settings unfold through sharp character portraits, wit, and a keen eye for the foibles of power. This is a classic Victorian novel that rewards patient reading with layered plots, moral weight, and surprising emotional depth. It speaks in a voice both intimate and expansive, inviting casual readers and Victorian literature scholars alike to lose themselves in a world where every gesture can shift a nation's course. This edition honours the work's literary and historical significance, restoring text and texture for today's audiences while preserving the sensibility that makes Edward Bulwer Lytton's contemporaries resonate. It's more than a reprint: a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a library collection edition that extends the life of a title long out of print for decades. Lovers of historical fiction and classic Victorian novels will find in De L'Orme a rich braid of romantic entanglements, political intrigue, and social critique-perfect for dedicated historical fiction collectors and curious readers alike.
