Barrington is a historical romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story takes place in the early 18th century and revolves around the London theater scene, capturing the lives of both the performers and the patrons. The central character, Diana Beswick, is a beautiful young woman aspiring to be an actress, navigating her ambitions and the complexities of relationships within a vibrant yet tumultuous society. The opening of "The Chaste Diana" introduces us to Mr. Rich, the patentee and manager of a playhouse, as he prepares for the premiere of John Gay's innovative production, "The Beggar's Opera." Throughout this portion, we meet notable figures from the London elite, including Lord Baltimore and the Duke of Bolton, who lend their support to the upcoming play. Diana's arrival and audition stand out as a pivotal moment; she yearns to escape her troubled home life under the oppressive hand of her stepfather, Mr. Fenton, and seeks to find her place on stage. As she impresses Mr. Rich and Mr. Gay with her vocal talent and spirited personality, she takes the first steps toward a career that not only promises fame but also the freedom she desperately desires.
