The historical novel – often long, usually impressively researched – is very much alive.

A fascinating blend of fiction and historical fact embracing classicist aesthetics, rumbustious lowlife and Enlightenment political thought, it draws the reader into an enthralling world of intellectual hedonism.

An epic historical adventure novel set in London in 1799 as a new era approaches.
