I recently read Lord Cochrane the Dauntless and wandered if you had read it. Surely here is a historical figure that deserves more literary attention and acknowledgement. Not always likeable but someone who took “doing the right thing” and fighting injustice to his heart. He fought all around the world in his naval career, loved his country, he was an inventor and innovator, and died virtually a pauper and in disgrace, only to be slightly acknowledged after his death. Today he is still virtually unheard of in Britain despite what he did for Britain, Greece, Brazil, Chile and Peru and is more well known in Chile than here. Do you never fancy righting a wrong?
He was a Georgian superhero without any superpowers….a Georgian Kickass, fighting injustice and corruption. Probably a difficult costume to design but I can almost see the wig…
