A Barren Title, published in 1885 by T. W. Speight, is a novel that explores themes of inheritance, identity, and societal perceptions through the life of John Fildew, a shabby-genteel man in his fifties. Set against the backdrop of the English aristocracy, the story delves into Fildew's financial struggles and his interactions with his family and the legacy of the recently deceased Earl of Loughton.
