In 1834 Charlotte Brontė and her brother Branwell created the imaginary kingdom of Angria in a series of tiny handmade books. Continuing their saga some years later, the five 'novelettes' in this volume were written by Charlotte when she was in her early twenties, and depict an aristocratic beau monde in witty, racy and ironic language. She creates an exotic, scandalous atmosphere of intrigue and destructive passions, with a cast ranging from the ageing rake Northangerland and his Byronic son-in-law Zamorna, King of Angria, to Mary Percy, Zamorna's lovesick wife, and Charles Townshend, the cynical, gossipy narrator.

From the Back Cover:

An arrogant, charismatic king seduces his innocent young ward; a rakish dandy searches salons and boudoirs for a rich and well-connected wife; a dangerous criminal buys his freedom through betrayal just before facing the noose; a wife and a mistress meet for the first time.

In her witty and romantic tales of the scandals and passions of the imaginary kingdom of Angria, Charlotte Brontė conjures up a world of amoral, dissolute heroes, daydreaming heroines, high-society courtesans, duelling, drinking, adultery and intrigue.

About the Author:
Charlotte Brontė (1816-1855), sister of Anne Brontė and Emily Brontė. Charlotte's best-known book, Jane Eyre, appeared in 1847 and was soon seen as a work of genius. Jane Eyre was followed by Shirley (1848) and Villette (1853). The Professor was posthumously published in 1857.
