| Summary | "Love Among the Lions: A Matrimonial Experience" by F. Anstey is a comedic novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Theodore Blenkinsop, a bachelor who becomes hopelessly infatuated with a beautiful young woman named Lurana de Castro, the stepdaughter of a professor. As he navigates the challenges of his feelings and societal expectations, he finds himself embroiled in a peculiar plan to wed Lurana in a lion's cage, a notion that reflects both her desire for excitement and his romantic inclinations. The opening of the novel sets the stage for this romantic comedy, introducing Theodore as a tea merchant with limited ambitions who becomes enchanted by Lurana's beauty and fierce spirit. Through a series of humorous encounters, including his misguided venture into an elocution class in hopes of winning her favor, Theodore learns more about Lurana's complex character and her yearning for adventure. As their relationship unfolds, Lurana's audacious proposal to marry in a lion's cage emphasizes her desire to escape ordinary life, while Theodore's growing affection pushes him to entertain the eccentric idea, leading to a whirlwind of comedic potential and societal commentary.
