The hero of The Regent, a sequel to Arnold Bennet?s previously successful novel, The Card, is shown moving to London with his family and founding his own theatre. His personality having largely changed from that of the young opportunist who was struggling both in love and business, Edward now has numerous responsibilities a family, a large and somewhat less esthetic home and a successful business to take care of.
