Description

Explore the deep history of one of literature's most famous heroes. Since its debut in 1905, Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel has moved beyond the printed page to achieve massive success in film and theater. This scholarly study by Sally Dugan traces the life of this elusive character from the initial manuscript stages through its various adaptations and postmodern uses. Through extensive archival research conducted in Britain, the United States, and Australia, this book reveals new details about the character's development. Readers will learn how the hero was originally envisioned as an anarchist Pole fighting against Tsarist Russia, a significant departure from the counter-revolutionary Englishman often recognized in later versions. This work provides a detailed look at the evolution of a global myth and the publishing processes that shaped it.
