Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Denounced: A Romance" by John Bloundelle-Burton is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Jacobite risings in the 18th century, the story revolves around complex relationships, political intrigue, and themes of betrayal. The main characters include Lady Fordingbridge, caught between her loyalty to her husband and her love for Bertie Elphinston, a man betrayed by circumstance and deception. At the start of the novel, a tumultuous sea voyage introduces us to the main cast, including Lady Fordingbridge and her husband, Lord Fordingbridge, who are returning to England amidst political unrest. The narrative delves into their strained marriage, particularly the contempt held by Lady Fordingbridge towards her husband due to his betrayals and political machinations. As the young couple navigates their tumultuous relationship, the tension rises with the looming threat of political repercussions as Jacobite sympathizers, including Elphinston and Father Sholto, are discussed, establishing the groundwork for an intricate tale of love, loyalty, and the quest for redemption amid the chaos of their time.
