Summary "The Mayor of Warwick" by Herbert M. Hopkins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Llewellyn Leigh, a young professor who has just begun his professional journey at St. George's Hall, a quaint college in Warwick. As he navigates the challenges of his new position, the narrative hints at themes of ambition, idealism, and interpersonal dynamics, particularly involving the bishop's daughter, Felicity Wycliffe, and the tumultuous political landscape surrounding the upcoming mayoral election. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Leigh as he arrives at the college and reflects on its striking architecture, which contrasts the vibrant community it aspires to be a part of. His initial explorations are punctuated by encounters that evoke a sense of romantic interest, especially with Felicity, who captures his attention during a chance meeting. The opening chapters sketch the atmosphere of Warwick, introducing us to both the idyllic beauty of the landscape and the underlying tensions in the college's hierarchy. As Leigh becomes acquainted with various characters, including the enigmatic bishop and the spirited Emmet, a local politician, we get a glimpse of the challenges he will face in balancing his academic ambitions with the unfolding events in the community.
