Georgette Heyer, author of a number of Regency romance novels, included Brummell as a character in her 1935 novel "Regency Buck". He is also referred to, or figures as a minor character, in the work of later writers of this genre. More recently, Brummell was made the detective-hero of a series of period mysteries by Californian novelist Rosemary Stevens, starting with "Death on a Silver Tray" in 2000. These are written as if related by their hero. Yet another American reinterpretation of his character appears in Cecilia Ryan's homoerotic novella "The Sartorialist" (2012).
