Angus Heyer

Angus Heyer's novels are entertaining, richly detailed, and often very funny. They are set in a world of upper class life and fashion. But they also explore the politics of marriage, blackmail, and gambling. They are a mix of contemporary sensibilities and traditional forms of romance.

Heyer's novels are often autobiographical. Helen is the most autobiographical novel of hers. In one scene, the writer is observing her father's corrections to her. In another, she frets about her toothbrush while being abducted by Miles Calverleigh.

Heyer's novels represent an important transition from Gothic exuberance to realism. During the early twentieth century, historical romance was not designed to challenge social structures. But Heyer's novels show social observation at its most effective.

In the early novels, the heroines of Heyer's novels are able to break out of the accepted feminine behaviour. They are able to do things like ride like a man and shoot like a man. But Heyer is careful to avoid portraying sexual violence. He is also careful not to present sexually transmitted infections as a graphic Hogarthian confrontation with the wages of sin.

Heyer's characters are based on real people. For example, his eponymous heroine lives in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. But she is also an independent, capable woman who is not afraid of riding like a man. Her husband is also a capable sword fighter, and they have a son. In his later novels, Heyer depicts love as a protective emotion. Often, the lovers are portrayed as rational choices, not based on passion. His novels also do not present sexual violence. However, Heyer's skill in depicting social construction of the self is self-defeating. It can obscure the risks of sexual activity in the Regency.
