 Chasing Ray - Case of the Missing Marquess, Monkey Town & An Order of Amelie, Hold the Fries
Her new book, The Case of the Missing Marquess follows the adventures of Enola Holmes--the great detective's much younger sister, and it's a dandy from beginning to end.
Along the way she falls into a completely unrelated mystery (of the missing marquess) and the way she goes about solving it is both brilliant and utterly appropriate.
The fact that I've gotten to the truth by reading a young adult novel is a bizarre twist, to say the least.

Soon the marquess of Queensberry, Douglas's father, began railing against Wilde and later wrote him a note accusing him of homosexual practices.
Foolishly, Wilde brought action for libel against the marquess and was himself charged with homosexual offenses under the Criminal Law Amendment, found guilty, and sentenced (1895) to prison for two years.
His experiences in jail inspired his most famous poem, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), and the apology published by his literary executor as De Profundis (1905).

 Masquerading the Marquess -- book review
Lady Simpson and Lady Kilroy, who are walking ahead of Calliope, begin whispering among themselves, gossiping about the Marquess of Angelford, a highly eligible bachelor who had been a constant fixture of the social scene that season.
It hadn’t been difficult to get good material that involved him, since he was often found at all the parties she had attended the past few years when she started her secret career as a caricaturist.
Unfortunately, after an altercation with the Marquess this evening, she finds herself fired by Lady Simpson and in need of another disguise in order to gain access to the balls of the ton..

After this summer interlude he corresponded for a time with Miss Brown and when they reestablished contact later in his career Smuts, already famous, requested—without success—that she return the letters he had written to her.
This process was facilitated, consciously or unconsciously, by his association with a reclusive don, H. Wolstenholme, a "lapsed Christian who retained his Christian conscience." During this same period of brooding introspection about self and personal values, Smuts made entries in a small fl notebook in which he jotted down ideas and random thoughts.
His on-going interest in Whitman was pursued through reading in the British Library during the early months of 1895.

This was Buchan's first serious attempt at writing history and a good deal of it was history, and very good history, the most impressive feature being the power which he exhibited of describing marches and battles and their wild natural settings.
Montrose (1928) is the sequel: the blemishes complained of are gone, but whether we have the final Marquess in his faults and failings, in his virtues and valour (Hay Fleming) is open to question among those for whom historic truth is all in all, and brilliant writing no more than decoration.
The outbreak of war in 1914 found Buchan, on the eve of his thirty-ninth birthday, seriously ill for the first time since his childhood, when at the age of five he had fallen out of a carriage and a wheel passing over the side of his skull had left its mark for life.

Here it is important to note that their reading is not just a pluralist one that traces the differing trajectories of men and women through time, but rather it is simply wrong and flies in the face of Popper's life-held commitment to falsification and, again, fallibility.

 BookLoons Reviews - Masquerading the Marquess by Anne Mallory
James Trenton, Marquess of Angelford, is determined not to fall prey to Love; he knows how it causes pain.
At the same time, caricaturist Thomas Landes takes London by storm with brilliant cartoons that skewer the pampered nobility, showing them at their worst, particularly the Marquess of Angelford.
How they reluctantly collaborate to solve the mystery and reveal the truth about the past, while coming to terms with their individual pain, forms the crux of this story.

 Playbill News: Full Transcripts of Oscar Wilde's Trial Published
Playwright Wilde, author of Lady Windemere's Fan, The Importance Of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband, A Woman of No Importance and Salome, saw his life and art come undone in 1895 when he lost a legal battle with the Marquess of Queensberry, the ornery and vengeful father of his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas.
Responding to a calling card that the Marquess left reading "Oscar Wilde posing Somdomite [sic]," Wilde took the disastrous action of suing the man for defamation of character.
As evidence of his then illegal (under British law) sexual relationships with young men came out during the trial, Wilde's star quickly descended.
