Outrageously handsome, witty and clever, Harry Cust was reputed to
be one of the great womanisers of the late Victorian era. In 1893,
while a Member of Parliament, he caused public scandal by his
affair with artist and poet Nina Welby Gregory. When she revealed
she was pregnant, horror swept through their circle known as 'the
Souls', a cultured, mostly aristocratic group of writers, artists
and politicians who also rubbed shoulders with luminaries such as
Oscar Wilde and H. G. Wells. For the rest of their lives, Harry and
Nina would fight to rebuild their reputations and maintain the
marriage they were pressurised to enter. In Tangled Souls,
acclaimed biographer Jane Dismore tells the tumultuous story of the
romance which threatened to tear apart this distinguished group of
friends, revealing pre-war society at its most colourful and most
conflicted.
