About This Item
The Bodley Head, London, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. The reigns, deaths, and ruthless struggle for power of Richard II and his cousin Henry IV is viewed through the eyes of Henry's youngest son, John of Lancanster. John, Duke of Bedford--very human, very powerful, intensely virile--he is an unforgettable figure in England's most turbulent and bawdy era. He grew to manhood fighting for his father, King Henry IV of England, on the wild and lawless Northern Marches. A prince of Royal blood, loyal and strong, he was the greatest ally that his brother - the future Henry V - was to have. Master of court intrigue, perilously close to the awesome responsibilities of the Crown, he remained a full-blooded young Englishman--an unrestrained lover, an unbridled seeker of adventure and pleasure. Filled with the clash of bitter rivalries and deadly power struggles, this is Georgette Heyer's last and most ambitious novel. 315 pages. Dust jacket has light fading to spine edge. Ex-Libris pasted in. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction::Historical Fiction; Fiction; ISBN: 0370105923. ISBN/EAN: 9780370105925. Inventory No: 264291.. 9780370105925
Synopsis
My Lord John was Georgette Heyer's last novel and was published after her death. Fictionalised History was Heyer's true passion and she looked upon this chronicle of the House of Lancaster as her Magnum Opus. However, financial burdens forced her to set aside her work in order to write another of her Regency Romances. She eventually died of lung cancer before being able to complete the story. Her husband George Ronald Rougier published the unfinished book a year after her death.
