Summary "D'Orsay; or, The Complete Dandy" by W. Teignmouth Shore is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers on Gédéon Gaspard Alfred, the Count d'Orsay, who is depicted as the quintessential dandy of his time, exploring his background, lifestyle, and influences in society. The narrative intricately details his relationships, particularly with the celebrated Lady Blessington, as well as his affluent upbringing and social escapades. The opening of the book introduces Count d'Orsay, highlighting his early life and the aristocratic environment he was born into. We learn about his lineage, which boasts a soldier father and a charismatic mother, and how these familial ties shaped his flamboyant character. D'Orsay's youthful exploits in Paris are recounted, providing a glimpse into his charm, physical beauty, and social popularity. The narrative sketches out his burgeoning obsession with luxury, beauty, and the art of living, setting the stage for his later prominence in fashionable society and his complicated entanglements in relationships that would define much of his adult life.
