The Transformation of Philip Jettan

內容簡介

內容簡介 A classic work of escapist literature that explores the power of makeovers and questions of masculinity by the master of the historical romance genre—featuring an introduction by New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean. Strong, handsome, mostly silent Philip Jettan is in love with Cleone Charteris, the girl next door and his childhood friend. Cleone loves Philip, but she dislikes his disdain for fashionable clothing, his lack of sophistication, and his assumption that they will get married. Determined to win Cleone's heart, Philip travels to Paris. Under the tutelage of the Marquis de Château-Banvau, Philip learns how to duel, write poetry, and find the perfect accessory for any outfit. But will Philip's transformation from unrefined country bumpkin to stylish, courtly dandy result in a change of heart, too? This edition restores the final chapter, which Heyer removed when she republished the novel as Powder and Patch.

作者介紹

作者介紹 Georgette Heyer (1902–74) is considered the founder of historical romance. Heyer's first novel, The Black Moth, was published when she was nineteen, and she became a bestselling novelist at twenty-four with the publication of These Old Shades. Inspired by Jane Austen, she published Regency Buck in 1935, creating the Regency romance subgenre in the process. Despite her popularity, Heyer never gave an interview or made a public appearance (though she once accepted an invitation to lunch with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace). Over the course of her career, Heyer wrote more than fifty books.
