Doctor Cupid is a novel by Rhoda Broughton, one of the most popular and commercially successful Victorian women novelists. Broughton began her career in the 1860s writing sensational romances that shocked critics with their frank treatment of female desire, before moderating her style in later works. Doctor Cupid, published in 1886, belongs to her more comfortable late period, offering witty social comedy alongside its romantic plot.
Broughton’s sharp tongue and her gift for comic dialogue give her fiction an energy that outlasts its period conventions. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg to discover a writer who deserves to be better remembered.
