Quite possibly the best, most thoroughly imagined fantasy/steam-punk/horror novel I have ever read. Amazing depth. A grittier, political, London-based Dr. Norrell and Mr. Strange, Dickens writes cyber-punk with the tools of his time, race-relations, minor characters vivid enough to have their own novels...
Anyway, a very, very good read. Very dark, but very good.

In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
