Description
Moonglade is a novel by the anonymous author of The Martyrdom of an Empress, published by Harper and Brothers of New York and London in 1915. The writer, an officer of the French order of public instruction, published a shelf of court romances. A Doffed Coronet, Emerald and Ermine, and The Tribulations of a Princess stand in the same list.
The book opens with verses of its own: moonglade lying white upon the waters. Wind shouts from the western verge and herds the flying cloud rack. Glory breaks again through the rift, in the poem's stormy image. A dedication of three words, to A, with everlasting thoughts, guards the author's privacy. The novel belongs to the romantic school of courts and princesses that flourished before the Great War scattered its world. Harper issued it in February 1915, into a Europe already at war.
