Sally Dugan charts the history of Baroness Orczys elusive hero, from the novels origins through its continuing afterlife, including postmodern appropriations of the myth. Drawing on archival research in Britain, the United States and Australia, her study shows for the first time how Orczys nationalistic superhero was originally conceived as an anarchist Pole plotting against Tsarist Russia, rather than a counter-revolutionary Englishman. Dugan explores the unique blend of anarchy, myth and magic that emerged from the storys astonishing and complex beginnings and analyses the enduring elements of the legend. To his creator, the Pimpernel was not simply a swashbuckling hero but an English gentleman spreading English values among benighted savages. Dugan investigates the mystery of why this imperialist crusader has not only survived the decline of the meta-narratives surrounding his birth, but also continues to enthrall a multinational audience. Offering readers insights into the Pimpernels appearances in print, in film and on the stage, Dugan provides a nuanced picture of the trope of the Scarlet Pimpernel and an explanation of the phenomenons durability.</p>...3609043Baroness Orczys The Scarlet Pimpernel10641064https://www.gandhi.com.mx/baroness-orczys-the-scarlet-pimpernel-9781317176169/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2456600/2ab7bb91-90e8-461e-996c-b1dad86d39f3.jpg?v=638384000574100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781317176169_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9781317176169_<p>Since its publication in 1905, The Scarlet Pimpernel has experienced global success, not only as a novel but in theatrical and film adaptations.
