Although written in 1879 and serialized in a local paper, The Duke of Stockbridge was not published in book form until 1900, when it was revised following Bellamy''s death.  The Duke of Stockbridge is set in the past:  during Shay''s Rebellion of 1786. It’s soft and romantic, but hidden inside the sentimentality are hints of Bellamy’s political ideas.
