Synopsis

This book presents the first full-length study of an extraordinary literary figure whose writing career crossed borders and continents. The author positions the subject within the context of the period's publishing and theatrical worlds, providing an exploration of the main themes running through the subject's writing. These include the struggle between love and duty, the tension between public duty and private happiness, and the exploration of the nature of power and the role of women in society. The author masterfully traces the transformation of a man who began his career writing melodramatic plays for the popular market into a subtle and reflective novelist whose work probed the depths of the human soul. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the author, the fascinating and turbulent era in which he lived, and the evolution of the novel as a genre, all narrated with the lucidity and charm that defines the author's writing style.
