Summary: "A Little Rebel: A Novel" by Duchess is a fictional work likely written in the late 19th century. The novel introduces us to Professor Curzon, who is unexpectedly named the guardian of his deceased friend Wynter's daughter, Perpetua, a spirited 17-year-old heiress. The story centers around their evolving relationship and the challenges posed by Perpetua’s vivaciousness and the traditional expectations of their society. The opening of the novel sets the stage with Professor Curzon grappling with the sudden responsibility of caring for Perpetua, who has just lost her father and is thrown into a world of constraints under her aunt Jane's guardianship. Curzon's initial terror and disbelief at the prospect of managing a young girl reveal his character's humorous idiosyncrasies. He transitions from feeling overwhelmed to realizing that his initial dread is compounded by the surprising knowledge that Perpetua stands to inherit a considerable fortune. However, as circumstances unfold, the dynamics between the professor, Perpetua, and her autocratic aunt create both comedic and poignant tensions, promising a narrative rich with youthful enthusiasm and the weight of guardianship.
