| Summary | "The Revolution in Tanner's Lane" by William Hale White is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers on Zachariah Coleman, a printer and Dissenter, whose life in 1814 London is marked by a significant political and social upheaval, intertwining his personal struggles with the broader context of revolutionary sentiment and social change. At the start of the story, a festive atmosphere envelops London as crowds cheer for the returning Bourbon king, Louis XVIII. However, amid the jubilant throngs, Zachariah stands apart, highlighting his character's political radicalism and inner conflict. He is soon embroiled in a public encounter where violence erupts, leading him to reflect on his beliefs and the contradictions of his world. As he navigates his personal and political life, encounters with figures such as the charming Major Maitland and complex discussions about reform and revolution reveal his growing disillusionment with societal norms and expectations, especially within his marriage to a more conservative wife. This opening sets the stage for an exploration of love, faith, and the search for meaning against a backdrop of sociopolitical upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
