The Beau and the Bluestocking

Another book I vaguely remember from way back. A more interesting heroine than the one in The Georgian Rake, Alethea Newnham, the only daughter in 6 boys, has been educated alongside her brothers, by her father, and was sent to Miss Hannah More's school to continue her education. Sent to her aunt to be brought out by her alongside her cousin Lydia, she attracts the attentions of Beau Devenish - partly because she does not seek to attract his attention unlike every other female in town. She is more interested in bluestocking society than fashionable society.

Light, but readable.
