Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Robert Orange" by John Oliver Hobbes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Robert Orange, a character navigating love, ambition, and social expectations amid the complexities and constraints of Victorian society. The narrative takes the reader into his world, exploring relationships with significant characters such as Lady Sara De Treverell and Lord Reckage, each contributing to the themes of romance, societal pressures, and personal ambition. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Lady Sara, the daughter of the Earl of Garrow, who is caught in a whirlwind of emotions as she contemplates an offer of marriage from the wealthy Duke of Marshire. Her thoughts drift toward her feelings for Robert Orange, whom she views as a remarkable person, contrasting the prospects of marrying for social elevation versus genuine connection. Her father, concerned about the social implications of Sara considering Orange, encapsulates the societal divide that the characters negotiate. As the narrative unfolds, the contrasts between ambition, societal rank, and personal desire set the stage for deeper explorations of love and identity that are likely to resonate throughout the novel.
