This 1899 novel, of which Hope had a very high opinion, represented a change in his fictional dynamic, from a focus on adventure and intrigue to the no-less riveting dramas of internal conflict and development.

After his kingdom of Ruritania had been invaded by a score or more of imitators, Mr. Anthony Hope came back to England to sing of a man sans arms, whose victories are as remarkable, if not so renowned, as those of Rudolph Rassendyll.

Description
Hope is a known quantity in terms of writing style. His high-water mark is undoubtedly The Prisoner of Zenda, but if you enjoy him, you'll enjoy the Duchess. A bit of swashbuckling, a bit of mannerly controversy and, as always, a couple characters who are not playing by the rules.

Description
Anthony Hope has written two kinds of stories; one interesting for the civilised detail, the other for the situation and plot. When we read the first kind we do not care about the result, and we don't get excited. If we have plenty of leisure and care for little turns of expression, feeling, and thought, and care a great deal for clean and pleasant society, we are content with books like "The Dolly Dialogues." The mixture of tolerance, urbanity, and...

England, 1647: a wise woman has predicted the birth of Simon Dale, to the very day and district. But if the rest of her ominous forecast is accurate, how can this ordinary child be predestined to love where the King loved, know what the King hid, and drink of the King's cup?
