The Gay Lord Quex

Sir Arthur Wing Pinero

Book Overview: 

Lord Quex, after a life of philandering, has decided to reform and marry. But he is not believed, particularly by the guardian of his intended. The play shows the difficulties in shaking a discreditable past - and how it is different for a male Lord than for a woman.
