The final revision incorporates a brief section on the year 1989 as a revolutionary year.

The Rutshire Chronicles is the name given to a series of romantic novels by Jilly Cooper.  The stories tell tales of mainly British upper-class families, as well as the show-jumping and polo crowd, in numerous different sexually charged scenarios, often laced with adultery, illegitimate children, scandal, and sometimes, even death.

He is the great-great-great-great-great-great grandson of Rupert Black (who married Miss Campbell).  Campbell-Black's first appearance is in the novel "Riders", which follows the lives and loves of a group of horse riders and show-jumpers.  Although initially portrayed as a brutish, womanizing, adulterous cad, Campbell-Black's character is later somewhat redeemed through his triumphant winning of an Olympic gold medal for Great Britain.  His loyalty is also highlighted through his friendships with Billy Lloyd-Foxe, Ricky France-Lynch and Declan O'Hara, as well as his gentle courtship of his second wife Agatha 'Taggie' O'Hara.  He has five children: Marcus and Tabitha from his marriage with Helen Macaulay, adopted children Xavier and Bianca with Taggie, and the illegitimate Perdita.

Walter Scott defined the literary fiction form of romance as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". A prosimetrum (plural prosimetra) is a poetic composition which exploits a combination of prose ("prosa") and verse ("metrum"); in particular, it is a text composed in alternating segments of prose and verse.  It is widely found in Western and Eastern literature.  While narrative "prosimetrum" may encompass at one extreme a prose story with occasional verse interspersed, and at the other, verse with occasional prose explanations, in true "prosimetrum" the two forms are represented in more equal measure.  A distinction is sometimes drawn between texts in which verse is the dominant form and those in which prose dominates; there the terms "prosimetrum" and "versiprose" are applied respectively.
