Summary "Simon Dale" by Anthony Hope is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the mid-17th century during a tumultuous time for England involving a young protagonist named Simon Dale, who is born under a prophecy that he is destined for greatness amid the struggles of monarchy and society. The novel opens with Simon’s reflections on his chaotic upbringing and hints at an adventurous and romantic journey ahead, intertwined with themes of fate, love, and societal expectations. The beginning of "Simon Dale" introduces us to the title character as he recounts his birth and the peculiar predictions made by a local seer named Betty Nasroth. These prophecies shape the expectations placed upon Simon and provide a backdrop for his experiences growing up. As he reaches adulthood, Simon grapples with the weight of these predictions while navigating his relationships, particularly with Barbara Quinton, a lady of the manor, and a mysterious girl named Cydaria. The opening sets a tone of intrigue and sets the stage for Simon’s journey toward understanding his destiny, filled with love, societal challenges, and the search for his identity in a world rife with political tension.
