| Summary | "The Black Moth: A Romance of the XVIIIth Century" by Georgette Heyer is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the 18th century and revolves around themes of romance, adventure, and social intrigue. The narrative introduces intriguing characters such as Hugh Tracy Clare Belmanoir, Duke of Andover, and Lord John Carstares, whose lives intertwine amidst scandal and deception in Regency England. The opening of the novel presents a vivid prologue featuring the Duke meticulously writing a letter, showcasing his complex character with references to past romantic entanglements and personal rivalries. The scene shifts to a quaint inn, where John Carstares, living under a false identity as Sir Anthony Ferndale, is discovered by his solicitor, Mr. Warburton.
