| Summary | "Dariel: A Romance of Surrey" by R. D. Blackmore is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around George Cranleigh, a young man burdened with managing his family's dwindling estate, who longs for a turn of fortune amidst the backdrop of Surrey's rural elegance. The novel hints at themes of love, class disparity, and the evolving societal structure of the time, while drawing readers into the life of its relatable protagonist. At the start of the novel, George Cranleigh is returning from a fruitless trip to Guildford, where his efforts in selling grain have met with disdain from local merchants. Through introspective narration, he reflects on his family's reduced circumstances and the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. His encounter with Old Joe, his horse, and a serendipitous detour leads him to witness a beautiful maiden in prayer near a ruined chapel, which becomes a pivotal moment that alters the course of his life. This opening sets the stage for George's emotional journey and intrigues readers with possibilities of romance and self-discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
