The Under-Secretary
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"The Under-Secretary" by William Le Queux is a political novel written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Dudley Waldegrave Chisholm, the young and ambitious Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as he navigates the complex landscape of British politics and personal relationships. Themes of ambition, love, and the public versus private self are likely to unfold through Chisholm's character and his interactions. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the bustling yet silent streets of London at night, setting a tone of political tension brewing within the House of Commons. Dudley Chisholm is portrayed as a capable and charismatic speaker, earning admiration for his eloquent defense of government policy amidst potential political upheaval. As political dramas unfold, prominently featuring discussions of foreign relations and the pressures of public life, we also see glimpses of Chisholm's personal struggles as he grapples with his growing fame, the expectations of society, and the tumultuous attachments with women like Claudia Nevill. This sets the stage for a complex exploration of power dynamics in both political and personal realms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
