Summary "Elizabeth's Campaign" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of World War I and revolves around the complexities faced by the characters in a time of societal upheaval. The opening chapters introduce key characters like Sir Henry Chicksands, his daughter Beryl, and the Squire of Mannering, who must navigate personal and ideological conflicts influenced by the war. The beginning of the book depicts Sir Henry Chicksands as he prepares to confront the Squire about agricultural policies and land use during the war. There are subtle tensions between Sir Henry's duty to ensure food production and the Squire’s disdain for the authorities that dictate how he manages his estate. Concurrently, other characters, like Beryl and Miss Bremerton, are introduced, highlighting themes of love, duty, and individualism amidst the collective struggle of war. As the narrative unfolds, the reader senses the dichotomy of loyalty and rebellion—both personal and political—creating a rich exploration of human values in critical times.
