It is 1870, and Albertian Britain is in the grip of conflicting
forces. Engineers transform the landscape with bigger, faster,
noisier and dirtier technological wonders; Eugenicists develop
specialist animals to provide unpaid labour; Libertines oppose
restrictive and unjust laws and flood the country with propaganda
demanding a society based on beauty and creativity; while The Rakes
push the boundaries of human behaviour to the limits with magic,
sexuality, drugs and anarchy. Accompanied by the diminutive and
pain-loving poet, Algernon Swinburne, Burton's latest mission in
his role as King's Spy finds them dispatched to that most exotic
and perilous of destinations: Africa.
