| Summary | "Prince Fortunatus" by William Black is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely the late Edwardian period. It centers on the lives of characters within the theatrical world, exploring themes of art, ambition, and relationships. The main character, Lionel Moore, is a baritone involved in the burgeoning London theater scene, navigating both his professional endeavors and personal connections with women like Lady Adela Cunyngham and the returning Nina Rossi. At the start of the novel, two siblings, Lady Adela and Lord Rockminster, leave a successful musical performance and meet the actors backstage, revealing their ties to the theater world. As they converse with Lionel Moore, the baritone, the atmosphere hints at a blend of both admiration and underlying tension surrounding artistic pursuits. Additionally, Nina's return from Naples introduces a layer of romantic and professional intrigue, as she seeks Lionel's guidance while seeking to establish her own career in England. The opening sets the stage for character dynamics as they balance personal desires against the backdrop of theatrical aspirations and societal expectations.
