A Son of Empire is a novel written by Morley Roberts and published in 1899. The story follows the life of a young man named John Scarlett, who is the son of a wealthy British family living in India during the late 19th century. John is sent to England to receive an education and becomes involved in the social and political issues of the time. He falls in love with a young woman named Edith and becomes embroiled in a scandal that threatens his reputation and his family’s honor. The novel explores themes of imperialism, class, and identity, as John struggles to reconcile his loyalty to his family and his country with his own personal beliefs and desires. Through John’s experiences, the novel provides a glimpse into the complex social and political landscape of the British Empire at the turn of the century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
