The British Barbarians—A Hill-Top Novel
Bertram Ingledow, anthropologist from the future, comes to 19th century England to study
the ways and rituals of the Englishman and at least one Englishwoman, the desirable Freda
Monteith.
— Michael Main
As once the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and straightaway
coveted them, even so Bertram Ingledew looked on Freda Monteith and saw at the first
glance she was a woman to be desired, a soul high throned, very calm and beautiful.
