Inhaltsangabe

Mistress Wilding was first published in 1910 with the title Arms and the Maid or Anthony Wilding. The title was later changed for the American publication. The book has an excellent plot filled with bits of bright humor and historical accuracy. The Protestant rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth against James II is the setting. For much of the book the reader is not totally sure who will be the hero and who the villain.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English author best known for his swashbuckling historical novels filled with adventure, romance, and intrigue. Born in Jesi, Italy, to an Italian father and an English mother-both opera singers-Sabatini was raised in a multilingual environment, becoming fluent in several languages. This diverse cultural background influenced his literary style, marked by a blend of English wit and Italian passion. Sabatini began his writing career in the late 19th century, initially producing short stories before gaining widespread recognition with his novels. His most famous works include Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), and The Sea-Hawk (1915), all of which were adapted into successful films. These novels are characterized by their vivid historical settings, complex characters, and fast-paced plots. Sabatini's works often explore themes of honor, loyalty, and the conflict between personal desires and larger societal forces. His protagonists are typically dashing, morally complex heroes who navigate turbulent political landscapes with a blend of cunning and courage. Despite his success, Sabatini lived a relatively private life, dedicating himself to writing until his death in 1950. His legacy endures as one of the great storytellers of historical fiction.
