Moonstone
"A celebrated Indian diamond is first stolen from India then vanishes from a Yorkshire country house. Who took it? And where is it now? A dramatist as well as a novelist, Collins gives to each of his narrators--a household servant, for instance, a detective, a lawyer, a cloth-eared Evangelical, a dying medical man--vibrant identities as they separately tell the part of the story that concerns themselves"--Back cover.

The Way We Live Now
‘Love is like any other luxury. You have no right to it unless you can afford it.’ It is impossible to be sure who Melmotte is, let alone what exactly he has done. He is, seemingly, a gentleman, and a great financier, who penetrates to the heart of the state, reaching even inside the Houses of Parliament. He draws the English establishment into his circle, including Lady Carbury, a 43 year-old coquette and her son Felix, who is persuaded to inves…

Swinburne and Tennyson's Peerage
Algernon Charles Swinburne's poetic relations with Alfred Tennyson were mostly respectful. Where Swinburne differed, he still acknowledged the abilities of the Poet Laureate. There is one major exception: Swinburne's violent reaction—never noticed before—to Tennyson's acceptance of a barony in 1883. This article explores Swinburne's response and assesses the rich tangle of public and private reasons beyond the poet's well-known republican hatred …
Framley Parsonage
‘The fact is, Mark, that you and I cannot conceive the depth of fraud in such a man as that.’ The Reverend Mark Robarts makes a mistake. Drawn into a social set at odds with his clerical responsibilities, he guarantees the debts of an unscrupulous Member of Parliament. He stands to lose his reputation, and his family, future, and home are all in peril. His patroness, the proud and demanding Lady Lufton, is offended and the romantic hopes of Mark'…
Loyalism and the Formation of the British World, 1775-1914
Explores loyalism as a social and political force in eighteenth and nineteenth century British colonies and former colonies
Sylvia's Lovers
Praeterita
"John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a towering figure of the nineteenth century: an art critic who spoke up for J. M. W. Turner and for the art of the Italian Middle Ages; a social critic whose aspiration for, and disappointment in, the future of Great Britain was expressed in some of the most vibrant prose in the language. Ruskin's incomplete autobiography was written between periods of serious mental illness at the end of his career, and is an eloquen…
The Duke's Children
I do not know that one ought to be surprised at anything.’ The Duke of Omnium is overwhelmed by the death of his vivacious wife, Lady Glencora. Once the British Prime Minister, he is now in sole charge of his three wilful children. Lord Gerald has been sent down from University; Lord Silverbridge has defected from the Liberal cause of his father's party to the Conservative, and is badly in debt; Lady Mary has fallen in love with Frank Tregear, a …
