A Gentleman In Waiting is a novel written by Cornelius V. V. Sewell and first published in 1899. Set in the late 19th century, the story follows the life of a young man named Arthur, who is a gentleman in waiting to a wealthy family. Arthur is content with his life, but his world is turned upside down when he falls in love with the daughter of his employer. The novel explores themes of love, class, and societal expectations as Arthur navigates his feelings and the expectations placed upon him by both his own class and the family he serves. Through Arthur's story, Sewell offers a glimpse into the rigid social structures of the time and the challenges faced by those who dared to challenge them. A Gentleman In Waiting is a thought-provoking and engaging read for anyone interested in historical fiction or social commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
