Synopsis
Clumber Chase, Or Love's Riddle Solved By A Royal Sphinx by George Gordon Scott is a Restoration-era historical romance and social satire set in 1670s London. The narrative centers on Dorothy Neville, a bright, principled young woman, and her romance with Gilbert Broderick, the son of the powerful but scheming Sir Allen Broderick. The plot unfolds amid a chorus of real historical figures and courtly vices—Pepys, Killigrew, Titus, and the King—depicting love, ambition, and the politics of patronage in Charles II's England. Dorothy's mother, Madam Neville, pursues practical happiness for her daughter by negotiating alliances and curbing reputation, while Master Oliver Hartsfoot, an antiquarian in love with learning and the town's diversions, seeks to balance duty with temptation. A key subplot follows Audrey Barton, a poor laundress whose family’s fortunes rise through virtue and perseverance, highlighting mercy amid poverty. From Mulberry Tree taverns to Whitehall back stairs, to The Chestnuts, the novel blends romance with sharp social satire and moral reflection on virtue, hypocrisy, and social climbing during the Restoration.
