- Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josephina Barbara, Baroness Orczy, known as Emmuska, was born in Hungary, the daughter of Baron Felix Orczy, a landed aristocrat and well-known composer and conductor, and his wife Countess Emma Wass. She was educated in Brussels, Paris, and London, and exhibited her art work in the Royal Academy. In 1894, she married Montagu Barstow, a British clergyman and artist, and they worked together as illustrators and jointly published an edition of Hungarian folk tales. Orczy became famous in 1905 with the publication of her novel The Scarlet Pimpernel (originally a play co-written with her husband). Its background of the French Revolution and swashbuckling hero, Sir Percy Blakeney, was to prove immensely popular. Sequel books followed and numerous film and TV versions have been made with the first in 1934, produced by Alexander Korda, another Hungarian. Baroness Orczy also wrote detective and adventure stories. She inherited her family’s estate of Tarna-Ors in Hungary but continued to live in England until the end of World War I, when she and her husband settled in Monte Carlo.

Det hamnar visserligen till slut i ett räddningsförsök på fransk mark, men inte med de väl uttänkta planer man väntat sig utan som en reaktion på den franske skurkens fällor, och det är inte riktigt detsamma. Dessutom har man tidigare fått läsa massor om baronessans olyckliga giftermål och hur hon ångrar att hon råkat ange en adelsman som senare avrättades – och det var definitivt inte vad jag trodde jag skulle få.
Sedan är hela berättandet hopplöst åldrat: massor av tjafs om kvinnlig känslighet, och hur britter är främlingsfientliga och fransmän högdragna och liknande. Att man dessutom rätt tidigt kan se igenom Röda Nejlikans olika förklädnader gör kanske inte lika mycket, men är ändå knappast meningen – att lady Blakely inte gör det samtidigt som hon kallas den mest intelligenta kvinnan i Europa (flera gånger) gör det hela rätt löjligt.
Jämfört med Två städer är skildringen av revolutionen än enklare: här är det enbart en blodtörstig mobb som är ute efter blått blod, nästan helt utan andra bevekelsegrunder. Där Dickens skapar ett djup i sina skurkar är de här bara fanatiska mördare, visserligen nog så sluga, men helt utan sympatiska drag.
Nej, Röda Nejlikan blev ingen favorit. Möjligen gör den sig bättre om den påträffas i unga år, då man inte ser svagheterna.… (mer)
