In 1852, on a steamer from France to Engl&, nineteen-year-old Theresa Longworth met William Charles Yelverton, a soldier destined to become the Viscount of Avonmore. The flirtation that began on board soon blossomed into a clandestine, epistolary affair, & five years after their first meeting they married secretly in Edinburgh. Then, that same summer, at Theresa's urging, they married again in Dublin
- or did they? Separated by circumstance soon after they were wed, Theresa & Charles would never live together as man & wife. & when Yelverton then married another woman, an abandoned Theresa found herself forced to prove the validity of her marriage. Multiple trials ensued
- in Irel&, England & Scotland
- & for months their scandal captivated society: every detail of the proceedings was reported in the press, songwriters dedicated ballads to Theresa, & novelists, Wilkie Collins among them, borrowed the courtroom melodrama for their plots. Over the course of a very public ordeal, Theresa lost all hope of the private married life she so prized. Thrust into the spotlight, she travelled the globe & made a name for herself as a writer, blazing a trail for independent women & their rights
- & the changes in attitude the twentieth century would later bring. In this brilliant debut, Chloe Schama unearths both a forgotten tabloid spectacle full of steamy intrigue & the chronicle of how one woman made a life for herself as an unmarried woman in a society that made no allowance for her. Wild Romance is the inspiring tale of a woman who never gave up, & who held on to her ideals of independence, self-reliance &
- despite everything
- love. The size of this book is 22.2cm in height & 14.1cm wide with 249 pages
