Book Description
Excerpt from The Sword of Bussy, or the Word of a Gentleman: A Romance of the Time of Henry III It was said that it required but a straw, blown across his path by a breath Of wind, for his sword to leap from its scabbard. King Henry III and Monseigneur, while watching each other, found employment in the adjustment Of brawls in which Bussy was the contention. The King fumed and fretted lest his brother seek honours other than those he enjoyed as the gift Of the Crown. Jealous Of his every move, seeing treason in the slightest thought expressed, he so harassed the Duke that he made several attempts to leave the palace, where he had been held practically a prisoner. The day was indeed dull when King Henry saw nothing sinister in the conduct Of his brother. The King's champions, well knowing the feelings Of their master, made life miserable with their sly speeches, intended to irritate the Duke, against whom they dare not raise other than their voices.

Book Description
"Part historical novel, part critical history and biography, and part Dadaist pastiche, The Duke's man is ultimately an affectionate send-up of the excesses of genre fiction, using sections of Dumas' text as a springboard for Slavitt's own narrative arabesques."--Book cover
