Summary "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" by Charles Major is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative follows the life of its titular character, Dorothy Vernon, and explores themes of love, lineage, and feudal loyalty in a richly described Elizabethan England. The story is told in part by Sir Malcolm Vernon, a cousin to Dorothy, who finds himself caught between his past, his affection for the deposed Queen Mary, and his duty to his family and heritage. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Malcolm, who reflects on his tumultuous past and his quest for safety at Haddon Hall after fleeing danger in Scotland. As he arrives at the hall, he discovers that his childhood cousin, Dorothy, has grown into an unexpectedly beautiful young woman. The dynamics of family obligations, romantic entanglements, and the weight of historical feuds become apparent as Malcolm grapples with the prospect of marrying Dorothy to preserve his family name. The opening sets the stage for a complex interplay of emotions and conflicts, hinting at the tension between personal desires and familial expectations amidst the backdrop of political intrigue involving their kin and the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth.
