Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Hugh Gwyeth: A Roundhead Cavalier" by Beulah Marie Dix is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, the story follows the journey of a young man named Hugh Gwyeth as he grapples with his identity and seeks to connect with his estranged father, Colonel Alan Gwyeth, amidst the turmoil of conflict. Themes of loyalty, family, and the struggles of burgeoning manhood permeate the narrative. The opening of the novel introduces Hugh Gwyeth, a 16-year-old who feels marginalized by his family and yearns for a place in the ongoing war. His inner conflict is evident as he wrestles with feelings of inadequacy compared to his cousin, Peregrine, who is set to join a troop. The narrative unfolds in a leisurely pace, depicting Hugh's mundane life at Everscombe manor and his longing for adventure. When he learns that his father, whom he believed was dead, is alive and serving in the king's army, Hugh resolves to seek him out, setting the stage for his journey filled with hope, challenges, and self-discovery. The tone is reflective and introduces secondary characters that hint at the interpersonal dynamics and struggles that will shape the young protagonist's journey.
