Regency Literature: The Spectre of Pont Vathew
Appearing in the 1825 November edition of Ackermann’s Repository, this ghost story is perfect for All Hallows Eve!
Mystery, magnetism, and marzipan
Scottish singer Emma Bryson travels to London determined to fulfill a deathbed promise to her mother to sing for the Queen. Her debut at a fashionable salon starts brilliantly but ends in disaster when the usually poised Emma tumbles backwards and lands on the champagne-buffed boots of Philip Henry Jamison, the earl of Blackbourne and London's most eligible bachelor.
