Elizabeth Boyle: Tempted by the Night

Tempted by the Night


Description

Lady Hermione Wilmont has loved the rakish Earl of Rockhurst from afar forever, defending his scandalous ways at every turn. That is until she wishes she could follow after him at night, completely unseen, so as to reveal his true noble nature. Much to her shock, Hermione finds herself fading from sight as the sun sets until she is completely invisible. Freed of the confines of Society, she recklessly follows the earl into the temptations of the night and shockingly discovers that the Earl's scandalous veneer is merely a cover for his real duty: safeguarding London as the Paratus, the Protector of the Realm. And while the Earl has sworn to combat evil at all costs, his world is altered one night when an unseen creature, an invisible miss, stumbles into his arms and unwittingly saves his life. Could Hermione be the final temptation sent to lead him into his ultimate destruction or the answer to an ancient prophesy which would set him free?

'What distinguished Clare is an unspectacular joy and a love for the inexorable one-thing-after-anotherness of the world' Seamus Heaney John Clare (1793-1864) was a great Romantic poet, with a name to rival that of Blake, Byron, Wordsworth or Shelley -- and a life to match. The 'poet's poet', he has a place in the national pantheon and, more tangibly, a plaque in Westminster Abbey's Poets' Corner, unveiled in 1989. Here at last is Clare's full story, from his birth in poverty and employment as an agricultural labourer, via his burgeoning promise as a writer -- cultivated under the gaze of rival patrons -- and moment of fame, in the company of John Keats, as Tempted by the Night download book the toast of literary London, to his final decline into mental illness and the last years of his life, confined in asylums. Clare's ringing voice -- quick-witted, passionate, vulnerable, courageous -- emerges through extracts from his letters, journals, autobiographical writings and poems, as Jonathan Bate brings this complex man, his revered work and his ribald world, vividly to life.
