Th Plumer Ward Novels De Clifford and De Vere Review
A critical essay applauds Plumer Ward as a major British novelist, contrasting his didactic, character driven method with Scott’s dramatic style. It praises Ward’s moral purpose, universal themes, and mature perspective, notes his aristocratic society settings, and discusses his political leanings while arguing his work transcends mere polemics. The piece ends urging readers of Tremaine and De Vere to read De Clifford as essential.
