Thaddeus of Warsaw ReviewThis was Porter's second work, a gothic romance that was preceded only by a children's story. A very popular early effort in the historical novel genre (first issued in 1803 and still in print), it is set in Poland in the 1790s and tells of a Polish exile and the failed struggle for independence. The novel drew on eye-witness accounts from Polish refugees and was lauded by the Polish patriot Kosciusko, an acquaintance of the author's brother, Robert. Porter (1776-1850) is best remembered for her later book, The Scottish Chiefs (1810), a work based on the life of Scotch patriot William Wallace. She was the sister of novelist Anna Maria Porter, friend of Hannah More, and others. Amazingly enough for a work first written 200 hundred years ago, Thaddeus of Warsaw reads quite well, and the characters are quite sympathetic, although men cry a bit more than in similar modern day novels.
