girlyswotInspired by a comment here, I have attempted to compose a list of Heyer novels for each of Ronald Tobias's plots:
1. Quest: The Talisman Ring
2. Adventure: The Corinthian, The Reluctant Widow
3. Pursuit: The Foundling, Friday's Child
4. Rescue: Charity Girl, Beauvallet
5. Escape: Royal Escape (there's a clue in the title, here!)
6. Revenge: These Old Shades
7. The Riddle: The Quiet Gentleman, The Masqueraders
8. Rivalry: Bath Tangle, Regency Buck
9. Underdog: Cotillion
10. Temptation: Venetia
11. Metamorphosis: Hmm. Tobias wants a physical transformation into a beast or some other fantasy creature. Any ideas?
12. Transformation: An Infamous Army
13. Maturation: Simon the Coldheart
14. Love: Okay, so they pretty much all fit in here.
15. Forbidden Love: The Nonesuch
16. Sacrifice: The Convenient Marriage
17. Discovery: The Masqueraders
18. Wretched Excess: Devil's Cub? Though this isn't actually the plot.
19. Ascension: Faro's Daughter; A Civil Contract
20. Descension: ???
Any more suggestions? Obviously several books fit into more than one category.
Incidentally, while I was 'researching' this, I came across the suggestion that These Old Shades is really a continuation of The Black Moth, with changed names and details. This had never occurred to me before. What does anyone else think about this possibility?
