The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck: a romance

by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Romance · History · Novel

Open Library OL449981W

The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck: a romance takes a Yorkist point of view and proceeds from the conceit that Perkin Warbeck died in childhood and the supposed impostor was indeed Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York. Henry VII of England is repeatedly described as a "fiend" who hates Elizabeth of York, his wife and Richard's sister, and the future Henry VIII, mentioned only twice in the novel, is a vile youth who abuses dogs.
