Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"With the Black Prince" by William O. Stoddard is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around Richard Neville, a young lord who must navigate the turbulent landscape of feudal England during the reign of Edward III. With themes of adventure, loyalty, and the clash between noble and common folk, the story promises a rich exploration of medieval life and the responsibilities of leadership. The opening of the novel immerses the reader in an action-filled scene where a group of hunters has killed a royal stag, igniting tensions with the king's enforcers. This initial conflict introduces key characters, including Richard Neville and the bold archer Guy the Bow. As chaos unfolds with a band of outlaws threatening the local villages, Richard demonstrates his valor in defending his people. The conflict sets the stage for Richard’s growth from a young nobleman to a leader of men, foreshadowing the adventures he will embark upon under the command of the Black Prince as he joins a broader war effort against France.
