About the book

Robert Bage's Hermsprong; or, Man as He Is Not is a late-eighteenth-century novel centred on the unconventional hero Hermsprong, whose independence and rational outlook bring him into conflict with the arrogant Lord Grondale. Combining romance, social satire and political argument, the novel challenges inherited privilege and explores class, education, marriage, liberty and the contrast between natural virtue and social convention.
