Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Urith: A Tale of Dartmoor" by S. Baring-Gould is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the remote and wild landscape of Dartmoor, focusing on the enigmatic character Urith Malvine and her interactions with Anthony Cleverdon, as they navigate danger and emotional turmoil amidst a backdrop of a devastating fire on the moors. Themes of passion, identity, and societal constraints emerge as the characters confront personal struggles and the judgment of others. The opening of the novel introduces us to a dramatic scene where Urith finds herself trapped on Devil Tor, surrounded by raging fires on the moors. Urith, a girl marked by inner conflict and a fierce spirit, is rescued by Anthony Cleverdon, who unexpectedly arrives to aid her. Their dialogue reveals tension and emotional undercurrents, as Urith grapples with the implications of her predicament while Anthony demonstrates both concern and assertiveness. The stark beauty of Dartmoor serves as a metaphor for their tumultuous feelings, setting the stage for complex interactions that hint at deeper connections and societal challenges as they embark on their journey back to safety.
