In the bustling streets of 18th century London, a tale of deceit and desire unfolds. "The Lying Lover" by Richard Steele introduces us to the charming and manipulative Dorimant, a notorious womanizer who has mastered the art of seduction. As he pursues his latest conquest, the virtuous Clarinda, Dorimant's web of lies and betrayals threatens to ensnare both himself and those around him. With wit and biting social commentary, Steele exposes the complexities of love, honor, and the consequences of deception in a society where appearances often mask the truth.

Romer Wilson's first novel is a study in the life of Genius, a theme that would preoccupy her throughout her life. The eponymous Martin Schüler is a young German composer of genius in the years leading up to the Great War. His great passion is to create one magnificent work that will live forever. With his passions so consumed in his art, he makes sacrifices in his human relationships, going through a series of wrenching, unequal love affairs. The novel is of interest not only for Schüler's lifelong struggle to reconcile his fleshly desires with his lust for fame, but also for the Continental setting as Europe falls toward catastrophe.
