| Title : | Sedition | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Katharine Grant, Author | | Publisher: | London : Virago | | Publication Date: | 2014 | | Pagination: | 290 p. | | Size: | 23 cm | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-1-84408-985-7 | | Class number: | 823.92 | | Abstract: | The problem: Four nouveau riche fathers with five marriageable daughters.
The plan: The young women will learn to play the piano, give a concert for young Englishmen who have titles but no fortunes, and will marry very well indeed.
The complications: The lascivious (and French) piano teacher; the piano maker’s jealous (and musically gifted) daughter; the one of these marriageable daughters with a mating plan of her own.
While it might be a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a title and no money must be in want of a fortune, what does a sexually awakened young woman want? In her wickedly alluring romp through the late-Georgian London, Italian piano making, and tightly-fitted Polonaise gowns, Katharine Grant has written a startling and provocative debut. | | Contents note: | A deliciously twisted and seductive historical tale of piano playing, passions, and female power in London, 1794. |
