The Scarlet Pimpernel was first published in 1905 and has proved to
be Orczy's most famous and popular novel. The work was originally
rejected by publishers, so she refashioned it as a play, with
little initial success. The Scarlet Pimpernel is set in 1792 during
the French Revolution, but centres on an English hero performing
great and brave deeds in a violent and murderous climate.
Marguerite St Just is a beautiful French actress, who is married to
the English fop, Sir Percy Blakeney. The couple have become
estranged as Marguerite has tired of her husband's seemingly
superficial lifestyle. She has heard about the exploits of the
mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel - an unknown English man - who is
daily helping French aristocrats to escape the Revolution. She is
captivated and entranced by the stories surrounding him but is soon
forced into a position where she must assist the French ambassador
to England in capturing the elusive man.
