(OH MY GOD. so it spreads. you know, I and doubletake are the proud initiators of the term 'georgette heyer man'.I think we're going to be famous. :) wikipedia, here we come. i think what she meant was the general qualities of a GHM; it has a different meaning for everyone. for example, Freddy in Cotillion: reluctant saviour Justin: rake, jaded corinthian as you said Sherry: reluctant saviour again, a bit of a rake.. and he doesn't have to be IN a georgette heyer book. and besides, she did say 'usually'. :) Like the blog. yet another kindred spirit!

i think what she meant was the general qualities of a GHM; it has a different meaning for everyone. for example,
Freddy in Cotillion: reluctant saviour
Justin: rake, jaded corinthian as you said
Sherry: reluctant saviour again, a bit of a rake..
and he doesn’t have to be IN a georgette heyer book.

and besides, she did say ‘usually’. :)

Justin = rake, diffident aristocrat, jaded Corinthian Marcus = diffident aristocrat (and reformed rake? maybe? Marcus from The Convenient Marriage is the one we're talking about?) Richard = jaded Corinthian Ged is alright. I loved the Earthsea books, but never felt strongly for any particular character. Tamora Pierce's Tortall books (The Song of the Lioness, The Immortals and the Protector of the Small series) are things I reread regularly. Butbutbut!

What about Justin, or Marcus, or Richard? All the point de vice hearoes who did care how they looked but whose layers of exquisite clothing hid muscles of steel; whose bored expressions could suddenly turn keen? No, no no! There's more than one type of GHM. There's a whole post in there... To my eternal regret, I've never read TAmora Pierce. Will le Guin do?
