Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Disowned — Complete" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written during the early 19th century. The story follows a young man named Clarence Linden as he embarks on an adventure that combines themes of personal discovery, social commentary, and the romantic allure of freedom against the backdrop of societal expectations. Initially presented with the backdrop of the English countryside and the freeing nature of gypsy life, the narrative sets up a contrast between the constraints of the upper class and the spirited independence of those outside conventional society. The opening of the novel introduces us to the idyllic English countryside in the soft warmth of May as Clarence Linden encounters a tall stranger who claims to be a gypsy. This encounter piques Linden's curiosity and leads him to join the gypsy's encampment, where he spends an enchanting night filled with camaraderie and feasting. Through engaging dialogues and vivid descriptions, readers get a glimpse of the youthful exuberance of Clarence and the rustic charm of the gypsy life. As the narrative unfolds, themes of identity, the pursuit of freedom, and the contrast between social classes begin to emerge, laying the groundwork for Clarence's journey and the conflicts he will face in a world that both entices and challenges him.
