Aldersleigh and the Tide of Liberalism in a Turbulent Era
Review surveys Aldersleigh a novel aimed at exposing democracy’s dangers but failing to faithfully portray English society. Reginald Vaughan, a Virginian, returns to England, meets the vicar of Aldersleigh, and encounters a cast including a Tory lawyer and radical M P. The critique condemns caricatures, praises some plotting, and notes strong Roman settings in Capes Mosaic Worker’s Daughter and a separate tale of a young man’s desertion in A Fight for Safe.
