Beschreibung
There were a number of women playwrights in Regency England. Sarah Kedron is one of them. Successful and fiercely independent, and very much a disciple of Mary Wollstonecraft, author of the feminist tract, 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman', Sarah agrees to find out what has happened to Sir Charles Browning, the young aristocrat who has apparently deserted his wife – a village girl – leaving her destitute and ostracized.
Sarah is assisted in her investigation by James Brewster, the intense editor of her father’s weekly periodical, The Informer. Their search for the truth of the situation takes them from the high society of Regency England – the ton – to its shady underbelly.
Firmly established in the social, political and economic conditions of the time, The Missing Baronet is an enthralling read not only for lovers of historical mysteries, but also for young adults willing to try something different from contemporary tales of teenage life.
Ken Methold has been writing professionally for stage, screen and radio for most of his adult life. This is his first work of historical fiction.
