Summary "Lady Barbarity: A Romance" by J. C. Snaith is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story features Lady Barbara Gossiter, also known as Lady Barbarity, whose charm and wit attract admiration and envy. The narrative explores themes of romance, adventure, and the societal expectations of women during that time, with Lady Barbara often disregarding conventions and seeking genuine connections. At the start of the novel, Lady Barbara returns to her ancestral home after a season in London, feeling disillusioned with the shallow pursuits of the elite. Her keen observations on the nature of men and society set the stage for her subsequent actions. The opening also introduces her father, the Earl, who is humorously detailed as he prepares to discuss serious matters of his legacy with his daughter, juxtaposing Barbara's comedic charm with the gravity of life’s realities. As Barbara becomes engrossed in the plight of a young rebel imprisoned nearby, her spirited determination leads her to undertake a daring rescue, setting the tone for the unfolding romance and adventure.
