Because the Wakefield brothers became scattered all over the world in the classic family diaspora of empire, it made sense also to follow their careers with a degree of separation, rather than present the reader with a clutter of events connected only because they all happened in the same year.
The book's title refers to this ambiguity of character, frankly expressed by Edward Gibbon Wakefield in an 1821 letter to his sister Catherine, whose religiosity did not dampen her undying affection for her brother; and who considered that his sometimes unscrupulous means always had worthwhile and generous ends.
