Also, I have to say, the book does not offer a flattering picture of Britain's governing elite of any political camp during this period: the sheer amount of bribery, jockeying for power and money, bootlicking, cheerfully accepted-by-everyone buying of elections, etc. Gah.
Definitely something I've also noticed in reading more about this period! Now I understand why the characters in all those George Eliot books kept making such a fuss about the 1832 Reform Bill...
I already had a vague idea for an AU where Ewen is a werewolf
...tell me more?
In any case, Ewen Cameron of Lochiel certainly seems to have been very memorable. :D Apparently there's a story that he personally killed the last (normal) wolf in Great Britain—could that have had something to do with his own wolf nature, in this AU?
