Lord Leonard the Luckless (1903)

Lord Leonard The Luckless is a novel written by William Edward Norris and published in 1903. The story follows the life of Lord Leonard, a young man who is born into a wealthy and influential family but is cursed with bad luck. Despite his privileged upbringing, Leonard faces numerous obstacles and setbacks throughout his life, including financial ruin, failed relationships, and even accusations of murder. The novel explores themes of fate, fortune, and the role of social class in determining one's destiny. It also delves into the complexities of human relationships, particularly those between men and women, and the ways in which they can be shaped by societal expectations and personal desires. Through the character of Lord Leonard, Norris offers a critique of the rigid social hierarchy of Victorian England and the limitations it placed on individual freedom and happiness. The novel is both a compelling story of one man's struggle against adversity and a commentary on the larger issues of society and culture in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
