The topic of rakes has, of course, been previously discussed in this column, and This Author has come to the conclusion that there are rakes, and there are Rakes. Anthony Bridgerton is a Rake. A rake (lower-case) is youthful and immature. He flaunts his exploits, behaves with utmost idiocy, and thinks himself dangerous to women. A Rake (upper-case) knows he is dangerous to women. He doesnât flaunt his exploits because he doesnât need to. He knows he will be whispered about by men and women alike, and in fact, heâd rather they didnât whisper about him at all. He knows who he is and what he has done; further recountings are, to him, redundant. He doesnât behave like an idiot for the simple reason that he isnât an idiot (any moreso than must be expected among all members of the male gender). He has little patience for the foibles of society, and quite frankly, most of the time This Author cannot say she blames him. And if that doesnât describe Viscount Bridgertonâsurely this seasonâs most eligible bachelorâto perfection, This Author shall retire Her quill immediately. The only question is: Will 1814 be the season he finally succumbs to the exquisite bliss of matrimony? This Author Thinks⊠Not.
Lady Whistledownâs Society Papers, 20 April 1814.
