Belchamber (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169315341)

Belchamber is a novel written by Howard O. Sturgis. It tells the story of a man named Lord Belchamber, who is a member of the British aristocracy. The novel explores the themes of love, class, and social norms in the late 19th century. Lord Belchamber is a man who is torn between his desire to conform to the expectations of his social class and his own personal desires. He falls in love with a man named Archie, who is from a lower social class. This love affair challenges the conventions of the time and puts Lord Belchamber's reputation and social standing at risk. The novel is a complex exploration of the societal pressures that individuals face in conforming to the expectations of their social class, and the consequences that arise when they choose to follow their hearts instead. Through the character of Lord Belchamber, Sturgis offers a poignant commentary on the limitations of societal norms and the importance of living an authentic life.The memory of his birthday remained with him as a shifting phantasmagoria of painful images that partook of the nature of a nightmare. To be the principal figure in any pageant must always have a charm for the imagination of youth, if combined with the ability to play the part becomingly; but it is a very different matter for one conscious in every nerve of his own.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
