Short adult story--what if Harry Stafford, the Duke of Buckingham, was gay and in love with Richard III? Stafford appeared out of the blue, became Richard's greatest supporter...then betrayed him utterly. Richard called him 'the most untrue creature living.' Could it have been rejection that drove the Duke to treason? And what about the Princes in the Tower? Some say the Duke knew more than he should about their disappearance....Note: This is an adult themed story but there is NO male/male sex scenes, just some fantasizing on the part of Buckingham. There are sexual situations depicted between the King and his wife Anne. Over 18's only.

This collection of fifteen essays looks at the theme of decadence and its recurring manifestations in European literature and literary criticism from medieval times to the present day. Various definitions of the term are explored, including the notion of decadence as physical decay. Some of the essays draw parallels between modernist and postmodernist notions of decadence. Similarities are detected between fin de siècle decadence at the end of the nineteenth century (which reaches its apotheosis in the character of Eugene Wrayburn in Our Mutual Friend) and depictions of decadence in our own age as we enter the new millennium.
