Summary: "The Valet's Tragedy and Other Studies" by Andrew Lang is a historical and literary exploration written during the late 19th century. This collection delves into various intriguing historical mysteries, focusing on the enigmatic figure of Eustache Dauger, often associated with the legend of the Man in the Iron Mask, alongside other notable historical figures and events that shape the narrative. The opening of the collection introduces the complex legend surrounding the Man in the Iron Mask, initially presented through the lens of historical speculation and scrutiny.
