| Summary | "A Little Traitor to the South" by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the American Civil War, the story explores themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, primarily focusing on Miss Fanny Glen and the romantic entanglements she finds herself in with two officers of opposing sides: the valiant Lieutenant Rhett Sempland and the charming but flawed Major Harry Lacy. As the war wages on, their relationships become marked by tension and the moral dilemmas of war. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Fanny Glen, who is torn between her feelings for Sempland and Lacy. Sempland is characterized as a strong, determined man who harbors deep affections for Fanny, while Lacy is portrayed as handsome and charismatic but struggles with his vices. The opening chapters depict a conversation filled with tension between Sempland and Fanny, culminating in her dislike for his authoritative demeanor and her unsettling connection to Lacy, which Fanny grapples with throughout the dialogue. The scene sets the stage for the complications that arise when Sempland seeks to prove his worth through a daring mission, only for Fanny to attempt to thwart it out of her concerns for his safety and potential loss. This energy lays the groundwork for a narrative steeped in the conflict of war and the complex nature of human relationships amid turbulent times. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
