The Regent’s Daughter is one of Alexandre Dumas’s many historical romances, this one set during the Regency period of Philippe d’Orléans in early eighteenth-century France. True to his formula, Dumas weaves fictional intrigue — secret identities, forbidden love, political conspiracy — into a carefully evoked historical backdrop.
Though less celebrated than The Three Musketeers or The Count of Monte Cristo, the novel showcases the same storytelling verve and atmospheric period detail that made Dumas one of history’s most popular novelists. Download this public-domain text as a free EPUB.
