Romantic Rebel

by Joan Smith

Emma Nesbitt’s father left everything to his heir, trying to force her into marrying the man. In frustration Emma penned a diatribe against men which got her an invitation from a publisher in Bath, where she decided to settle with her companion. Lord Paton, critic for the Quarterly Review, got the wrong idea about Emma’s views.
