Lever, Charles James, Charles O'Malley, the Irish dragoon It takes pages just to get to the Peninsular, and Lever was famous for story telling that did not exactly advance the plot.

This was a best seller, and there are many editions. The English Agent, a tale of the Peninsular War. Lucas had a long and distinguished career as a professor at Cambridge University, author of numerous books of criticism ranging from Aristotle to the moderns, as well as volumes of poetry, plays and novels; he was also an intelligence officer in the British army in WW I, but I do not imagine his experience in that war was much like the experience of the main character in this novel.

The English Agent, published posthumously, is the first person narrative of an English officer who lands at Gibraltar in , and makes his way overland via the Battle of Bailen, Toledo, Mardrid, Astorga and Torres Vedras, joining up with the British army just as Sir Harry Burrard takes over command of the army from Sir Arthur Wellesley. At Baillen the narrator rescues the widow of a French officer from being auctioned off with other spoils of war; the main narrative becomes their adventures as he attempts to restore her to safety with her countrymen, a bittersweet goal since it is the only hope for her safety, but they find themselves falling in love.
The background is a very well-informed picture of the beginnings of Spanish guerilla activity at the start of the Peninsular war.
