Marjorie Bowen’s Historical Novels
The Quest of Glory
The scene is laid in France in the reign of Louis XV. The story, which opens with the retreat from Prague, deals with the adventures of the Marquis de Vauvenargues, the young officer of the “regiment du roi” who became one of the loftiest of French philosophers and a notable writer of a famous literary decade. The story shows how the young aristocrat, after the tumults of a brief, sad life, found glory and peace in a Parisian garret. Among the characters are Louis XV, Voltaire and the Duc de Richelieu.
The Governor of England
A romance in which is played the whole tragedy of Cromwell’s dealings with Parliament and King. It is written with dignity and conviction, and with the author’s characteristic power of grasping the essential details needed to supply life and color and atmosphere for the reader of the standard histories.
