Print on Demand. This book brings to life the scandalous exploits of England's upper class during the reign of George II. Drawing on real-life libertines and scandalous tales of the time, the author paints a vivid picture of a society driven by lust and greed, where honor and morality had little place in the pursuit of pleasure. Through the story of Lady Allonby, trapped into marriage with a ruthless womanizer, we follow the scandalous aftermath of her husband's death at the hands of a scorned suitor. The author deftly conjures the high-stakes world of aristocratic pursuits, their consequences, and the moral decay that pervaded the lives of the idle rich. At once entertaining and thought-provoking, this book illuminates a fascinating chapter of English history through an unforgettable tale of love, betrayal, and the price of excess. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Rear hinge is barely starting to crack.

Paperback. Gallantry (1922) is a collection of comic fantasy tales by James Branch Cabell. Set in a fictionalized version of 18th century England, Gallantry is a relative outlier among Cabell's body of work, and is included in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel. "We begin at a time when George the Second was permitting Ormskirk and the Pelhams to govern England, and the Jacobites had not yet ceased to hope for another Stuart Restoration, and Mr. Washington was a promising young surveyor in the most loyal colony of Virginia." Moving away from his usual setting of 13th century France, Cabell transports his favorite themes of aristocratic life and romance to the tumultuous world of 18th century England. As the country rebuilds following a period of civil war, famine, and disease, its wealthy elite enjoy an existence of ease at Tunbridge Wells, a legendary spa town on the outskirts of London. Gallantry is a captivating collection of tales from a historical period not so different from our own. Cabell's work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read Gallantry, however, is to understand that the issues therein-the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women-were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. This edition of James Branch Cabell's Gallantry is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
