Abstract:
Though it definitely breaks the mold of his best-known work, The Prisoner of Zenda, the humorous romp Mr. Witt's Widow was one of English novelist Anthony Hope's most successful books. George Neston finds himself enmeshed in a romantic entanglement with the young, beautiful widow Neaera Witt -- but their courtship doesn't go as smoothly as he hoped.
