The Lady Paramount
November 25th, 2008
The Lady Paramount, by Henry Harland
In the first decade of the twentieth century, the Countess de Sampaolo, heir to the throne of an Italian isle, is a ravishing beauty graced with wit, charm, and a fi erce independent streak. Knowing her ancestors to be usurpers, she decides to single-handedly restore the rightful count of Sampaolo: Anthony Craford, a young, cynical landowner exiled in rural England. Under an assumed name, she rents a house on his estate and sets a ‘little scheme’ in motion… to make him fall in love with her.
First published in 1905, The Lady Paramount is widely regarded as Henry Harland’s romantic masterpiece, and exhibits all of the glittering dialogue, nostalgic evocations of the English and Italian countrysides, and love for old Catholic mores and manners one expects from Harland’s Catholic novels.
