Set in the bustling culture of Regency England and decaying Venice, A Man of Genius portrays a subconscious journey from protection into secrecy and obsession. After having a troubled childhood, Ann St Clair achieves independence by earning her living as an author of cheap Gothic books. Within a group of male writers, she meets and is also enthralled by the supposed poetic genius, Robert Adam. They become uneasy addicts. Ann and Robert Adam travel from London by way of a Europe worn out by the long Napoleonic wars. They get to a Venice of spies and intrigue, where their romance becomes tortuous and Robert descends into near madness. Forced to flee with a stranger, Ann delves into her former, to be jolted by some revelations about her lover, her parentage, the stranger and herself.
