A sharp, witty voyage into late¿Victorian charm and Edwardian ambition, The Demagogue And Lady Phayre pairs social satire with political intrigue in a London orbit of power, perfume, and rumours. It reads with the immediacy of a contemporary page¿turner while carrying the weight of a classic - a story that lingers as much in its character study as in its social portrait. Locke's novel melds bravura storytelling with a keen eye for class, influence and the art of persuasion. The Demagogue and Lady Phayre asks how public opinion is shaped, how romance can be entangled with ambition, and how the old order gives way to a dawning modern age. It rewards careful reading and lively discussion, and its themes resonate with readers who relish intelligent social satire and richly drawn interiors of london high society. For historical fiction fans, it offers a window into transition moments between Victorian certainties and Edwardian aspirations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This complete edition invites casual readers and classic¿literature collectors alike to discover a British masterpiece that remains startlingly relevant, a piece of history reimagined for today's readers and tomorrow's scholars.
