Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Unconquered" by Maud Diver is a romance novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Sir Mark Forsyth, a Highland landowner and sculptor, whose impetuous love for the enigmatic Bel Alison jars his close-knit circle—especially his discerning mother, Lady Forsyth—and tests his deep bond with the steady, selfless Sheila Melrose. Themes of art, class, and women’s politics thread through an intimate social world that hints at wider historical pressures beyond the Highlands. The opening of the novel finds Lady Forsyth hosting a summer house-party at Inveraig, where sunset boating and music on Loch Etive introduce Bel Alison and her fiercely loyal, suffragist friend, Harry O’Neill. Mark is swept away by Bel’s cool charm, culminating in a glen-side proposal during a picnic; after hesitation and talk of her unsettled past (a vicarage upbringing, frustrated talents, London and America), she accepts. Mark’s mother, alarmed by the speed and by Bel’s allure, clashes with him; he turns to Sheila, who promises to smooth things despite her own quiet heartaches. The section closes with Mark modeling Bel as “Contemplation,” his art revealing both his exaltation and his unease, set against the vigorous power of his Viking bas-relief.
