"Three fascinating figures from Victorian New Zealand are portrayed in this study. ... Dudley Ward was an early MP, becoming a controversial Judge who presided over a number of sensational cases in the courts ... his first wife, Anne, was the first president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and helped women get the vote in 1893 .... Thorpe Talbot the Judge's mistress, was a prize-winning novelist, journalist and poet, who married Judge Dudley Ward in later life. The second part of this book analyses her writing and includes a full transcript of her 'long-lost' novel called Guinevere in the South, which has been located as a lengthy epic poem" -- Back cover.
